EV market gains momentum in 2025 with 16% retail sales growth: FADA
Jan-08-2026

The Federation of Automobile Dealers' Association (FADA) in its latest data has showed that electric vehicle (EV) retail sales grew by 16.37 per cent to 22,70,107 units in 2025 as compared to 19,50,727 units in 2024. This surge was largely driven by sales of electric passenger cars which grew by 77.04% to 1,76,817 units in 2025 as against 99,975 units a year earlier. 

According to the data, sales of electric commercial vehicles (eCVs) rose 54.2 per cent to 15,606 units in 2025 from 10,123 units a year earlier. The electric two-wheeler sales during the reporting period increased 11.36 per cent to 12,79,951 units from 11,49,416 units in the year-ago period. Similarly, the e-three-wheeler retail sales also grew by 15.39 per cent to 7,97,733 units in 2025 against 6,91,313 units sold in 2024.  

FADA president CS Vigneshwar has stated that year 2025 clearly reinforces that India's electrification journey is no longer a pilot; it is scaling, segment by segment. On the strength of robust ground-level adoption, electric two-wheelers retailed around 12.80 lakh retails (+11.36 per cent YoY) with an EV share of 6.3 per cent, while electric passenger vehicles grew sharply to 1,76,817 units (+77.04 per cent YoY), taking EV share to around 4 per cent from 2.4 per cent last year. He stressed the need for a coordinated push on charging infrastructure, policy continuity, and faster, more inclusive retail financing so that EV adoption becomes even more mainstream and pan-India.
