India's electric vehicle sector is experiencing accelerated growth, with EV models now representing over 5% of all new vehicle sales, doubling from the previous year. This surge is fueled by increasing competition and decreasing technology costs, making battery-powered cars a more viable option for consumers.
The market is attracting significant global attention, with the recent entry of major automakers like Tesla and Vinfast. This influx of international and domestic players is fostering a competitive environment that is expected to further reduce prices and enhance product offerings across various segments.
Industry leaders, such as Tata Motors, project a substantial shift towards electric mobility, with EVs potentially accounting for almost a third of their sales by 2030. This expansion positions India as a key growth market for electric vehicles amidst a global slowdown in adoption.
