The Indian EV market is set to experience a transformative year in 2025, with automakers unveiling nearly a dozen new electric vehicle (EV) models. These launches, many in the premium segment, aim to address consumer concerns and accelerate the nation’s transition to cleaner mobility solutions.
Accelerating India’s EV Growth
Despite the global EV sales slowdown to 13% in 2024, India’s EV market continues to defy trends, recording a 20% growth with sales of approximately 100,000 units, compared to an overall car market growth of just 5%. Currently, EVs make up about 2.5% of India’s total car sales, but the government is targeting a massive increase to 30% by 2030, creating immense opportunities for automakers and investors.
Premium EV Models with Advanced Features
Key players like Maruti Suzuki, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, BYD, Toyota, and Hyundai will showcase their offerings at India’s five-day auto show in New Delhi. The new models promise cutting-edge features:
- Driving Ranges: Starting at 400 km, with some models, like Mahindra’s electric SUVs, offering over 600 km.
- Fast Charging: Capabilities to charge from 20% to 80% in under 20 minutes, addressing a critical consumer pain point.
Notable Launches
- Maruti Suzuki e-Vita: The brand’s first electric SUV.
- Mahindra’s SUVs: Priced between Rs. 19,04,890.90 (US$ 22,000) and Rs. 30,30,508.25 (US$ 35,000), these vehicles cater to premium buyers.
- Hyundai Creta EV: Electric version of one of India’s most popular SUVs.
- VinFast VF3 and VF9: New entrant VinFast, building a factory in southern India, will debut these innovative models.
Clean Fuel Technologies on Display
In addition to EVs, the event will feature other clean fuel solutions, including plug-in hybrid cars, hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, and gas-based cars. These technologies highlight India’s broader commitment to achieving its climate and mobility goals.
Industry Drivers and Opportunities
India’s EV market is set to thrive, driven by:
- Economic Growth: Fuelling higher electricity demand and mobility requirements.
