India's Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV) market is set to experience substantial growth, with S&P Global Mobility forecasting a threefold increase in BEV production by calendar year (CY) 2025. The market, which saw subdued demand in CY 2024, is expected to rebound significantly, with production reaching 377,000 units in 2025, up from 130,000 units in 2024. This represents a significant leap, capturing a 6.6% market share of overall light vehicle production in India.
The expected surge in BEV production is driven by major automakers in India, including Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Mahindra & Mahindra, Tata Motors, and JSW MG Motor. These companies are making substantial investments in electric passenger vehicles, signaling a pivotal moment for the electric vehicle (EV) industry in India. With new models and technological advancements, the BEV market is becoming an integral part of India’s automotive landscape.
Key Growth Drivers: New Launches and Production Incentives
The growth in the BEV market is fueled by a combination of product launches, government incentive schemes, and charging infrastructure improvements. In 2025, the industry is preparing for the launch of 19 new electric vehicle models, including some highly anticipated vehicles. Notable launches include:
- Maruti Suzuki's eVitara, expected to be available in mid-2025.
- Hyundai's electric Creta, an electric version of the popular SUV model.
These new models will contribute to the diversification of electric vehicle options in India, catering to various segments of the market. The availability of a wider range of EV options is expected to boost consumer adoption and stimulate further growth in the sector.
Government Initiatives and Infrastructure Improvements
The growth of the BEV sector is also supported by the Production-Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme, aimed at promoting domestic manufacturing of electric vehicles and components. This scheme is expected to play a crucial role in reducing production costs and making BEVs more affordable for Indian consumers.
Additionally, ongoing improvements in charging infrastructure and advancements in battery technology are critical to the widespread adoption of BEVs. As these factors align, they will help reduce the barriers to entry for consumers and encourage greater uptake of electric vehicles.
Long-Term Projections: India’s Electric Vehicle Market by 2030
Looking ahead, S&P projects that light electric vehicle production in India will reach 1.4 million units by CY 2030, capturing an estimated 19.8% market share. This growth is in line with the government's target of achieving 30% electric vehicle penetration by 2035.
The growing demand for electric vehicles is expected to not only drive production but also create new opportunities for supply chain development and job creation within the country’s EV ecosystem. With the support of policy frameworks and consumer incentives, India is poised to become a significant player in the global electric vehicle market.
Challenges and Opportunities
Despite the optimistic growth outlook, there are challenges ahead. Key hurdles include the high initial cost of electric vehicles, concerns over charging infrastructure accessibility, and the ongoing need for advanced battery technology. However, these challenges also present opportunities for innovation and development within the sector. If these barriers are overcome, India’s BEV market is likely to experience accelerated growth.
Conclusion
India’s Battery Electric Vehicle market is poised for significant growth in 2025, driven by major product launches, supportive government policies, and the ongoing development of infrastructure. With projections of threefold growth in production and new models expected to hit the market, India is on track to become a major hub for electric vehicles. By 2030, the market is expected to capture a 19.8% market share, contributing to the government’s long-term target of 30% EV penetration by 2035.
