EV penetration is set to double to 4%, with 18 new electric car launches competing with 10 petrol/diesel debuts.
Manufacturers are moving to increase what they are making locally, and their dealers, especially global newcomers like VinFast, which is building a 150,000-unit Tamil Nadu factory.
The adoption of mainstream EVs is being hastened by substantial government incentives, an increase in the number and availability of charging points, and with battery technology advancing.
What Stands Out?
The upcoming MG Cyberster will be the first electric roadster to be launched in India and it will certainly be a head turner for car enthusiasts and luxury car buyers.
VinFast’s go all-in approach to the Indian market suggests the VF7 won’t be a niche offering, but something that can take on established rivals, but with plenty of tech and a compelling value proposition.
There’s still Tata and Mahindra that are powerful Indian forces too, with Tata concerned with value and safety and Mahindra betting on design and connected tech.
Maruti’s e-Vitara points to a mass-market tipping point — India’s largest carmaker finally going all-in on electric and it’s going to reshape what everyday family buyers choose.
