EV sales cross a new milestone in India

Electric cars keep gaining share — here’s what the trend means for your next purchase, running costs and resale.

1 Jun 2026

Electric vehicles are no longer a niche choice in India: model launches, longer real-world ranges and a wider charging network have pushed EV adoption to fresh highs, especially in metros and among second-car buyers.

What’s driving it

A broader line-up across price bands, lower per-kilometre running cost than petrol or diesel, and state incentives (road-tax waivers and subsidies in many states) have made the maths work for everyday buyers.

What it means for you

If your daily run is predictable and you can charge at home or work, an EV can cut running costs sharply. Factor in the higher upfront price, your city’s incentive, and realistic range for your commute before deciding.
