Tata Motors sold 32,283 EVs between April and June, more than double the 15,794 units it logged in the year-ago period. It also expanded its market share to 39 percent from 36.1 percent during the same period, and with the recent launches of the facelifted Tiago EV and Sierra EV, the momentum is expected to continue. The second-ranked Mahindra nearly doubled registrations from 10,144 units to 20,112 units, driven by its expanding portfolio of electric SUVs, which includes models such as the XEV 9S and BE 6. JSW MG, which sells popular cars like the Windsor EV and Comet EV, sold 16,502 units, marking a 22 percent YoY growth. 

Maruti ranks fourth with 4,894 e Vitara units

The April-June 2026 quarter also witnessed the entry of Maruti Suzuki and Vinfast, which had no offerings in the corresponding period last year. Maruti sold 4,894 units of the e Vitara, while Vinfast recorded 3,973 registrations in its first full quarter of sales here. Meanwhile, BYD posted a 30 percent YoY growth with 2,173 registrations.

Hyundai’s EV sales slid from 2,142 units a year earlier to 1,386 units, but its sister company Kia saw a massive rise in sales, going up from 133 units to 1,304 units.
