As accurately predicted earlier this month, official retail data reveals that India EV Inc has indeed registered and surpassed the two million sales mark number.
At the end of October 2025, the industry needed to deliver 151,444 EVs across all four EV segments to cross the 2 million-units mark. That came through in the last week of this month. Between January 1 and November 25, as per the data on the government of India’s Vahan portal which tracks new vehicle registrations across the country, India EV Inc has delivered a total of 2.02 million (20,26,118) zero-emission vehicles to buyers. With this stellar performance, the domestic EV industry has scaled a new high for annual sales, charging past CY2024’s 1.95 million units (see data table below).
The growth accelerator this year came in the festive month of October, which had both Dussehra and Diwali in it. Record monthly retails of 235,987 units (up 7% YoY), helped reduce the gap to the 2 million mark. October was the second month after March 2025 (205,289 units), when sales crossed 200,000 EVs this year.
Each of the four sub-segments of the EV industry have already registered their best-ever annual sales and will go on to further improve their numbers in December 2025.
Importantly, what augurs well for the overall EV industry is that each of the four vehicle sub-segments – two- and three-wheelers, passenger and commercial vehicles – have already achieved their best-ever annual sales, with four days of November and 31 days of December still to be counted. While e-2Ws, which represent the largest volume segment and have a 57% share of the India EV market, have posted 8% YoY growth with 1.16 million units, the e-3W segment which has the fastest transition to e-mobility has witnessed 10% YoY growth and accounts for a 34% share of EV sales across segments. Meanwhile, surging demand for zero-emission passenger vehicles has seen retail sales in the past 11 months rise handsomely by 74% YoY to 157,441 units, giving the e-PV category an 8% share, up from the 5% it had in January-November 2024. Meanwhile, the e-CV segment with 13,341 units sold in the past 11 months is up 41% YoY.
What is noteworthy is that despite GST 2.0, which helped reduce prices of IC engine vehicles, made them more affordable and also shrunk the gap between them and EVs whose GST remains unchanged, demand for zero-emission mobility remains strong. The EV industry’s stellar market performance proves that this segment has little to fear about sales being eaten into by its fossil-fuelled brethren.
With 35 days of EV sales still to be counted in the ongoing CY2025, expect the industry to achieve total sales in the region of 2.15 million units. Stay plugged into Autocar Professional, as we bring you the latest and accurate sales numbers and analyses of the domestic EV industry.
