New Delhi, April 22, 2025: India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is buzzing with excitement as eco-friendly transport takes center stage. Leading the charge are electric two-wheelers (E2Ws), such as scooters and motorcycles, which have captured over 50% of the EV market share in the financial year 2025. This makes them the most popular choice for millions of Indians looking to switch to greener, cost-effective travel options.
Hot on their heels are passenger electric three-wheelers (E3W-P), like electric auto-rickshaws, which secured a solid 36% of the market. These vehicles are a common sight in cities and towns, offering affordable and sustainable transport for daily commuters. The rise of E2Ws and E3W-P highlights how Indians are embracing electric mobility for short-distance travel, supported by government incentives and a growing network of charging stations.
Meanwhile, electric passenger vehicles, including cars and SUVs, have hit a major milestone. Over 1 lakh units were registered in FY2025, marking an impressive 18.2% growth compared to the previous year. This surge shows that more Indian families and businesses are opting for electric cars, drawn by their lower running costs and environmental benefits.
The boom in EV sales reflects India’s push towards a cleaner future, backed by schemes like the PM E-DRIVE and FAME, which promote EV adoption and infrastructure development. With electric two-wheelers leading the way and three-wheelers and cars gaining ground, India’s roads are set to become greener and more sustainable in the years ahead.
