Electric vehicle retail sales in India surged to a record high of 3.27 lakh units in July, marking a 66% increase compared to July last year, according to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). This surge pushed electric vehicle penetration to over 12%, surpassing the previous record set in June this year, when 3.06 lakh units were sold, growing 63% YoY. The two-wheeler segment led the growth, with 2.04 lakh units sold, an 88.32% increase compared to 1.08 lakh units in July 2025.
Electric passenger vehicle sales also showed a significant rise, increasing by 83.13% to 32,928 units, while three-wheeler electric sales grew by 25.3% to 87,055 units. Electric commercial vehicles saw a substantial increase of 168.6%, with 3,556 units sold, nearly tripling their previous 1,324 units. FADA Vice President Sai Giridhar commented on the remarkable performance, stating that India has never purchased more electric vehicles in a single month than it did in July.
He highlighted that two-wheelers accounted for 11.2% of the total sales, with electric commercial vehicles now making up 3.57% of the market. Giridhar emphasized that fleet electrification has transitioned from pilots to actual purchases and urged manufacturers to address supply constraints for electric passenger vehicles before the festive season to capitalize on the trend.
