Monthly deliveries (retail sales) of electric vehicles in India rose to a new high of 306,027 units in June, surpassing the 300,000 mark for the first time. This total constitutes a strong 63% YoY growth (June 2025: 188,069 units) and beats the previous highest monthly sales of 291,966 units in March this year.
This record-breaking performance comes on the back of three of the four sub-segments – electric 2Ws, passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles – registering their highest monthly sales. With market leaders TVS Motor Co and Bajaj Auto selling over 46,000 and 43,000 e-scooters respectively, the electric 2W segment – the largest volume provider to India EV Inc – delivered a record 193,663 units last month to register a handsome 75% YoY growth (June 2025: 110,719 units). This saw the e-2W share of the overall EV market rise to 63% from 59% a year ago (see data table below).
June retails of 306,027 units, driven by record e-2W, PV and CV sales, are the highest monthly numbers for India EV Inc. The e-3W segment’s highest sales (88,700 units) were in December 2025.
The electric passenger vehicle market too was on a roll in June, crossing 30,000-unit sales for the first time. This EV category more than doubled its sales YoY, and the 31,358 units sold last month were a 106% increase (June 2025: 15,203 units). With e-PV market leaders Tata Motors selling a record 12,120 units and Mahindra hitting a new high of 7,744 e-SUVs, demand for e-PVs jumped 106% YoY to 31,358 units in June. Meanwhile, Maruti Suzuki (1,911 units), VinFast (1,401 units) and BYD India (872 units) also registered their highest monthly sales in June, which also saw the eight luxury carmakers deliver over 800 units, their highest monthly retails yet. As a result of the strong numbers, the e-PV segment’s share of the EV industry rose by two percentage points YoY to 10% in June.
The electric commercial vehicle segment, which comprises passenger-transporting buses, cargo-carrying LCVs and SCVs, also scaled a new high in June: 3,224 units. This is a 164% YoY increase (June 2025: 1,220 units) and marks the first time that e-CVs have surpassed 3,000 sales in a single month. Tata Motors led the charge with retails of 1,114 units and a 35% e-CV market share, followed by Euler Motors (700 units), Mahindra Last Mile Mobility (315 units), Switch Mobility (308 units) and PMI Electromobility (157 units). These top five e-CV OEMs, with combined sales of 2,494 units, had an 80% share of June sales.
Electric 3Ws was the sole sub-segment to not hit a new monthly high in sales last month. June 2026 saw a total of 77,450 units sold, up 27% YoY (June 2025: 60,802 units). This, however, is considerably below the record 88,700 units retailed in December 2025. Mahindra Last Mile Mobility topped the OEM sales chart with 12,838 units – its highest monthly sales – and a 17% e-3W market share. This stellar performance saw MLMM regain the crown it had lost to Bajaj Auto for three straight months from March to May this year. Bajaj Auto delivered 11,279 units, down 9% month-on-month from its highest total to date (May 2026: 12,419 units), for a 15% market share. Third-ranked TVS Motor Co also registered its highest monthly sales – 3,823 units – in June to mark three months in a row that it has surpassed 3,000-unit sales after April (3,238 units) and May (3,807 units).
India EV Inc Well Set to Achieve 3 Million Units in CY2026
The EV industry’s record retail sales in June have taken the cumulative first six-month total to 1.55 million units, which constitutes a robust 43% YoY growth (January-June 2025: 1,086,085 units). Halfway into CY2026, the industry is 1.44 million units away from hitting the 3-million mark in annual sales. Given the monthly average of 259,739 units in H1 CY2026, and given the same strong growth momentum in H2 (July-December), it can be surmised that India EV Inc is well placed to surpass the 3 million milestone for the first time in CY2026.
Halfway into CY2026, India EV Inc is 1.44 million units away from hitting the 3-million mark in annual sales for the first time. All four zero-emission vehicle segments are well set to register record sales.
At the end of June 2026, the domestic EV industry was 798,489 units away from surpassing CY2025’s record retails of 2.35 million units, when all four EV categories had registered their highest annual sales. Halfway into CY2026, it looks like, once again, all four segments – e-2Ws, e-3Ws, e-PVs and e-CVs – are well set to achieve new sales highs in their annual sales (customer deliveries).
The e-2W segment, which has sold 970,907 units in the first half of CY2026 and has already achieved 72% of its CY2025 sales (1,342,244 units), is just 371,338 units away from setting a new high for annual sales. If demand for electric scooters and motorcycles continues to grow at the same high double-digit pace in H2 this year, the e-2W industry could even breach the 2-million mark on its own battery power!
The e-3W category, with 421,969 units sold in H1 CY2026, is 379,443 units away from setting a new annual sales total. In CY2025, this segment, which boasts the highest level of transition to e-mobility, had clocked retail sales of 801,411 units. This record performance also ensured that India maintained its global dominance in e-3Ws in CY2025 for the third year running and a 67% share of global sales. It was in CY2023 that India had overtaken China to become the world's largest electric 3-wheeler market for the first time.
Meanwhile, the electric passenger vehicle segment, which hit a new monthly high of over 30,000 units for the first time in June, is racing towards setting record annual sales well before CY2026 comes to a close. January-June e-PV retails, at 147,233 units with over 100% YoY growth, are already 76% of CY2025’s record 194,646 units. At present, it is 47,414 units away from surpassing that total, which should be achieved by mid-August. The e-PV segment, which is witnessing rapid growth due to surging demand driven by a flurry of new models as well as the recent multiple price hikes in petrol and diesel, could even cross the 300,000 retail sales milestone for the first time in CY2026.
The recent fuel price hikes are also fuelling a surge in demand for electric CVs, particularly light and small CVs, which form the backbone of the hub-and-spoke delivery ecosystem in India. Total retails in H1 CY2026, at 14,817 units, are already 89% of CY2025’s 16,691 units and, given the same pace of demand in the second half of this year, there is no reason why total e-CV sales should not cross 30,000 units in CY2026.
As we have done throughout the first half of CY2026, Autocar Professional will consistently track India EV Inc’s growth trajectory in the next six months of this calendar year. Nevertheless, remember that we were the first media outlet to forecast record annual sales of over 3 million EVs in India in CY2026.
