Stellantis Set to Launch Leapmotor Electric Vehicles in India

Stellantis N.V. announced plans to introduce Leapmotor's electric vehicle lineup to the Indian market, according to a statement released from Pune on Friday. The move represents a significant expansion of the global automaker's electric vehicle strategy in India.

The company aims to strengthen its presence in India's rapidly growing automotive sector, where it already operates with its Jeep and Citroen brands. Leapmotor, which delivered nearly 300,000 vehicles globally in 2024, doubling its year-over-year growth, will target India's premium EV segment.

"We're excited to announce the entry of Leapmotor brand in India thereby strengthening our commitment to the market," said Shailesh Hazela, CEO and Managing Director of Stellantis India. "We look forward to bringing premium EVs to India's upwardly mobile consumers—vehicles that redefine modern driving with cutting-edge technology, comfort, and sustainability."

The move comes as India's electric vehicle market continues to expand, with government policies supporting the transition to low-carbon transportation options. Analysts have pointed to India as one of the world's fastest-growing markets for electric vehicles, though infrastructure challenges remain.

Stellantis, formed by the merger of PSA Group and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles in 2021, has been aggressively expanding its electric vehicle portfolio globally. The company's brand portfolio includes Abarth, Alfa Romeo, Chrysler, Citroën, Dodge, DS Automobiles, FIAT, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel, Peugeot, Ram, and Vauxhall.

The timing of the launch and specific Leapmotor models to be introduced in India have not yet been disclosed. Industry observers expect the company to target urban markets initially, where charging infrastructure is more developed.
