Electric mobility in India maintained its upward trajectory in July 2025, with penetration rising across most vehicle segments despite a softer overall retail environment. The trend underscores a gradual shift from early adopters to a broader consumer and fleet base, supported by policy incentives, financing access, and improving infrastructure.

In the two-wheeler category, EV market share edged up marginally to 7.5% from 7.4% in July 2024. While the pace of growth was modest—just 10 basis points—several emerging players recorded strong double- and triple-digit year-on-year gains, signalling rising competitive intensity in the segment.

The three-wheeler space continued to dominate EV adoption, with electric models accounting for 62.1% of sales, up from last year’s levels. Volumes grew 8.6% year-on-year, buoyed by healthy financing availability and sustained demand in the last-mile mobility sector.

Passenger vehicles saw one of the sharpest jumps in electric share, climbing to 4.7% from 2.4% a year earlier. The growth was propelled by an expanding range of EV models and enhanced state-level incentives, making the segment more attractive to private buyers.

Electric commercial vehicles, though still a small segment, posted a 52% year-on-year volume surge, increasing their market share to 1.63%. The rise was driven by institutional adoption, particularly in urban logistics and municipal fleets, along with better product availability.

According to FADA President, C S Vigneshwar, maintaining this momentum will require continued government support, easier financing, and accelerated charging infrastructure rollout—factors expected to play a key role in sustaining demand through the upcoming festive season and beyond.
