As of November 2025, Chinese electric vehicle companies are making significant inroads into India's booming EV market. Brands like BYD, MG, and Volvo have managed to claim nearly a third of the market share, overtaking their South Korean and German counterparts.
These Chinese-backed automakers have struck a chord with Indian consumers by offering advanced technology, better range, and greater reliability. Brands like MG Motor, BYD, and Volvo Cars have rapidly expanded their presence in the country, leveraging their global expertise and adapting to local market needs.
While homegrown companies Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra still lead the Indian EV market, the competition is intensifying. Chinese EV makers have not only widened consumer choice but also helped accelerate India's adoption of cutting-edge battery tech, premium features, and faster product life cycles. With more Chinese brands like Xpeng, Great Wall, and Haima exploring the Indian market, the landscape is set to become even more competitive in the coming years.
