India’s electric car market hit a new high in June 2026. For the first time, monthly sales jumped past the 30,000 mark, 31,253 units, to be exact. That’s double what it was in June last year, and up 12% from May, according to Vahan figures shared by Autocar India. Clearly, the electric vehicle wave is picking up real speed.
Tata Motors stayed at the top, clocking 12,023 EV registrations in June. That’s their second month in a row topping 10,000, and a huge 125% jump over last year. The company’s established line-up keeps finding buyers.
Mahindra & Mahindra grabbed a solid second spot, moving 7,645 electric vehicles, their best monthly total yet, and 118% higher than June 2025. Their electric SUVs are hitting the mark and the brand’s momentum shows.
JSW MG Motor India took third, reporting 5,785 EVs sold, a 23% bump from last year, but Tata and Mahindra are outpacing them. Maruti Suzuki’s e-Vitara (1,896 units) and VinFast India (1,394 units) both enjoyed their strongest months so far. It’s not just the big names: brands like BYD India, BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Kia, and others had their own record months or saw major growth, making the overall picture even stronger.
Luxury EVs had a pretty good month too. That part of the market hit 801 units across eight brands. BMW sold the most—486 EVs—while Mercedes-Benz came next with 234. It’s proof electric cars are no longer just for mass-market buyers; premium shoppers want in as well.
So what’s the big story? It’s clear that electric vehicle sales in India aren’t just flukes anymore. The market now holds above 30,000 EVs a month, and it’s not all down to Tata and Mahindra—although they’re leading. New brands and premium vehicles are joining the mix and giving buyers more choice. The shift isn’t slowing down; it’s just getting started.
