Electric passenger vehicle registrations in India settled at 32,737 units in July 2026, down 2% from June's 33,354, but the segment held above the 30,000-unit mark for a second consecutive month, according to Vahan data.
The broader trend remains upward. Cumulative EV sales for January-July 2026 stand at 1,83,479 units, up 85% from 99,189 in the same period last year. That figure is already at 95.8% of 2025's full-year total of 1,91,619 units, with five months still left in the year.
Tata Passenger Electric Mobility remained the market leader in July with 13,630 units, a 39% share and growth of 102% year-on-year. Mahindra Electric Automobile followed with 7,710 units and a 23% share, its year-to-date sales up 164% over last year.
