10 Things Tata Harrier EV Offers Over Hyundai Ioniq 5
India’s biggest car company, Maruti Suzuki, is reducing production of its first electric SUV, the e-Vitara, because of a shortage of rare earth materials. These materials are important for making magnets used in electric motors.
What’s Happening?
Maruti planned to make 26,500 e-Vitara units between April and September 2025, but due to supply issues, it will now make only 8,200 units — a two-thirds drop.
The company still hopes to reach its full-year target of 67,000 EVs by increasing production later in the year (October to March).
The problem comes from China’s export restrictions on rare earth materials, which has affected car companies around the world.
While companies in the US, Europe, and Japan are starting to get supplies, Indian companies are still waiting.
Why This Matters
The e-Vitara is very important for Maruti’s electric vehicle plans. It was launched in January 2025 with much excitement.
Most of the cars made in India are meant for export to Europe and Japan starting this summer.
This delay might affect Maruti’s future growth in EVs, especially as rivals like Tata and Mahindra are already leading in India’s electric car market.
Maruti’s market share has dropped from 51% in 2020 to 41% now.
Other Key Points
Maruti’s shares dropped by 1.4% after the news came out.
The company hasn’t opened bookings yet for the e-Vitara.
Suzuki, Maruti’s parent company, has also lowered its India sales target and reduced its future EV plans due to strong competition.
JSW MG Motor India has reduced the prices of its electric SUV, the MG ZS EV, by a huge margin. It now starts at just ₹17.99 lakh (ex-showroom). The top-end variant gets the highest price cut of ₹6.14 lakh!
This price drop makes the ZS EV even more competitive against rivals like the upcoming Hyundai Creta EV.
