FY2025 Sees Record 2 Million EV Sales in India, Up 15.6% YoY
India is moving towards a cleaner and smarter future on electric wheels. In just a few years, electric vehicles have gone from being a rare sight to a common part of daily life. By the end of FY2025, nearly 6.2 million EVs are now on Indian roads, showing how fast the country is embracing change.
This fiscal year, India crossed an important milestoneโmore than 2 million EVs were sold, the highest ever in a single fiscal year. Thatโs a big jump from around 1.75 million sales in FY2024, showing a 15.6% growth in just one year. But the bigger story is how far we’ve come. Since FY2020, EV sales have grown over 11.5 times, thanks to growing public interest, better charging infrastructure, and strong support from the government.
