🚗⚡ Big Jump in Electric Car Sales Expected in India in 2025
Electric cars are becoming more and more popular in India. People now have more options to choose from, and there are more charging stations in cities and on highways. Because of this, 2025 is going to be a big year for electric cars in India.
A new study by Frost and Sullivan says that electric car sales in India will grow by 40% in 2025. This means around 1,38,600 electric cars will be sold this year. Last year, about 99,000 electric cars were sold. So, this year we might see around 39,600 more cars on the road.
Battery Electric Cars Are Leading
Most of these cars will be Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). Hybrid electric cars (which use both petrol and battery) will only make up a very small part of the sales — just 0.1%. In India, there are only a few expensive hybrid cars, and this is not likely to change soon.
Fuel cell electric cars (FCEVs), which run on hydrogen, are not yet available in India. Other countries like Japan, South Korea, and the US already have these cars.
SUVs Are Most Popular
In India, people love SUVs, and the same is true for electric cars. The most popular electric cars last year were Tata Punch.ev, Tata Tiago.ev, Tata Nexon.ev, MG Comet, and MG Windsor.
Tata sold the most electric cars, followed by MG, Mahindra, BYD, and Citroen.
More Choices and Charging Stations
One big reason for the growth of electric cars is the increasing number of models and more charging stations. Many car brands have already launched electric cars, and more brands are planning to join soon.
For example, a company from Vietnam called VinFast will launch its VF 6 and VF 7 electric cars soon. Maruti Suzuki will launch its first electric car, the e‑Vitara SUV, later this year. MG India is also planning to launch two new electric cars: a sporty car called Cyberster and a big luxury MPV called M9.
Future of Electric Cars in India
Experts say that by 2030, India might sell up to 7 lakh (700,000) electric cars every year. Tata, Mahindra, and MG are expected to be the top brands.
To support so many electric cars, India will need many more charging stations — at least one for every five cars by 2030. Right now, there are about 60,000 public charging points.
Also, India depends a lot on other countries (like China, Japan, and South Korea) for parts and materials for electric cars. In the future, India needs to start making more parts locally.
⚡ Conclusion
Electric cars are growing fast in India. With more car choices and better charging facilities, 2025 will be a great year for electric cars. This growth will help India move towards a cleaner and greener future.
