BMW Group India has made history by becoming the first luxury carmaker in India to cross the 5,000 electric vehicle (EV) delivery milestone. As a testament to its leadership in premium e-mobility and in celebration of this achievement, BMW has unveiled a groundbreaking high-power charging corridor covering 4,000 km, stretching from Jammu in the north all the way to Madurai in the south.

Creating India’s Longest Luxury EV Charging Corridor

The newly launched BMW charging corridor aims to eliminate range anxiety for luxury EV customers by providing charging points at every 300 km interval across one of India’s busiest travel routes. The network connects strategic metro and tier-2 cities including Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, Hubbali, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, and Madurai.

• Charger Power Range: 120 kW – 720 kW
• Placement: At premium stops—cafés, restaurants, malls—allowing users to relax, dine, or use in-car entertainment while charging
• Coverage: Accessible to all EV brands, supporting the entire e-mobility ecosystem beyond just BMW and MINI owners

The corridor, developed in partnership with charging leaders Statiq and Zeon, demonstrates BMW’s commitment not just to its customers, but to the broader evolution of India’s charging infrastructure.

BMW’s Expanding Charging Network and Smart Features

This corridor supplements BMW’s fast-growing EV support ecosystem:

• 300+ BMW Destination Chargers at luxury hotels, resorts, and malls pan-India
• Access to 6,000+ charging points nationwide through expanded tie-ups with multiple provider networks
• myBMW app: Provides live charger status, routes, and suggests amenities nearby. Users can also filter chargers by output and access everything with a seamless in-app experience
• Industry-first Charging Concierge: Dedicated BMW assistance for trip planning, real-time charger availability, and unified payment—all through a single service, sidestepping the clutter of multiple charging apps
• Smart E-Routing & Destination Charging: Automated trip suggestions based on charger location and range

BMW and MINI EV owners also benefit from complimentary home charger installation and open access to fast-charging at all official dealerships.

Leading India’s Luxury EV Segment

BMW Group India has consistently outpaced rivals to retain luxury EV leadership for three consecutive years. The company’s robust portfolio includes models such as:

• BMW i7, iX, i4, i5, iX1 Long Wheelbase
• MINI Countryman E
• BMW CE 04 & CE 02 electric scooters

During the first half of 2025, BMW and MINI saw EV sales of 1,322 units, registering a meteoric 234% year-on-year growth. EVs now comprise 18% of BMW’s total sales in India, with the iX1 Long Wheelbase leading popularity, closely followed by the flagship i7.

Commitment to Customer Experience

To mark the milestone, BMW’s President and CEO, Vikram Pawah, noted:

“Crossing 5,000 electric deliveries is not just a number but a reflection of our pioneering spirit in premium e-mobility. To mark this, we are pleased to introduce our high-power charging corridor, enabling customers to experience sheer driving pleasure across the length of India without concern.”

BMW’s strategy ensures that luxury EV customers can travel worry-free across the country, enjoying both performance and convenience.

The Road Ahead

With this milestone and infrastructure boost, BMW cements its position as the benchmark for luxury EV adoption in India. As the demand for electric vehicles accelerates, BMW’s bold moves in charging, accessibility, and a rapidly expanding product line place it firmly ahead in the new era of sustainable, premium mobility.

India’s electric vehicle market is heating up rapidly, and the festive season of 2025 is set to usher in a fresh wave of EV launches. With rising consumer interest, improved charging infrastructure, and government support, automakers are gearing up with models that combine range, design, and advanced technology to meet the aspirations of Indian buyers.

Here are five highly anticipated electric SUVs from VinFast, Mahindra, and Maruti Suzuki that are set to hit Indian roads in the next six months:

1 & 2. VinFast VF 6 and VF 7

Vietnamese automaker VinFast is making a serious push into India with not one but two compact electric SUVs – the VF 6 and VF 7.

• Launch Window: Festive Season 2025
• Production: CKD assembly at VinFast’s Tamil Nadu plant
• Range: Up to 480 km (WLTP)
• Notable Features: Smart connectivity suite, advanced driver aids, and a premium cabin finish

What makes the VF 6 & VF 7 compelling is their blend of affordability + practicality. Reservations are already open online and across dealerships, signaling VinFast’s intent to make EV adoption mainstream in India.

3. Mahindra XEV 7e

Mahindra’s long-awaited three-row electric SUV will soon become a reality with the XEV 7e. Based on the XUV.e8 concept, it borrows design and tech inspiration from the popular XUV700.

• Launch Window: Early 2026 (within 6 months from now)
• Highlights:
  • Triple-screen dashboard setup
  • Level 2 ADAS suite
  • Panoramic sunroof
  • Battery packs likely shared with flagship XEV 9e and BE 6

The XEV 7e is expected to take Mahindra into the premium electric SUV space, competing directly with Tata’s upcoming Harrier EV and international rivals.

4. Mahindra XUV 3XO EV

Positioned below the XUV400, the XUV 3XO EV will serve as Mahindra’s entry-level electric SUV, appealing to budget-conscious EV buyers.

• Launch: Expected in H1 2026
• Battery Options: Similar to XUV400, with likely 35–40 kWh choices
• Range: ~350 km+ per charge
• Design: Shares styling elements with the recently launched XUV 3XO ICE range, but tweaked EV-specific touches

The XUV 3XO EV will directly rival the Tata Nexon EV in one of India’s most hotly contested EV segments.

5. Maruti Suzuki e Vitara

India’s largest carmaker, Maruti Suzuki, is entering the electric SUV segment in a big way with the e Vitara. Produced at the brand’s Gujarat facility, it promises strong domestic and export potential.

• Launch Window: Early 2026
• Variants: Delta, Zeta, and Alpha trims
• Battery Options:
  • 61.1 kWh (500+ km range)
  • 48.8 kWh (affordable option)
• Feature Highlights:
  • Level 2 ADAS
  • Large touchscreen with wireless Android Auto/Apple CarPlay
  • Ventilated front seats
  • 360-degree surround view camera
  • Wireless charger & auto climate control

With these features and long range, the e Vitara could become Maruti’s flagship EV for both Indian and global markets.

The Bigger Picture

India’s EV space is about to witness an inflection point. With VinFast bringing aggressive products, Mahindra leveraging its EV platforms, and Maruti Suzuki finally entering the all-electric era, buyers will soon have more choices than ever before.

From compact EVs like the XUV 3XO EV to premium long-range options like the e Vitara, the next six months will redefine the electric SUV segment in India.

✅ Quick Take:
If you’re considering an EV purchase, the end of 2025 and early 2026 will be the best time to buy, as competition among automakers will not only push advanced features into affordable segments but may also drive attractive introductory pricing.
