India's Electric Vehicle Market Expected to Surpass 10% Penetration by Year-End
Electric vehicle penetration in India's passenger vehicle market is expected to reach or exceed 10% by the end of 2023, driven by wider model availability, improved battery ranges, expanding charging infrastructure, and rising fuel prices. JSW MG Motor's sales director Lakshmi Ram Kumar Subbaraj noted recent sales growth, with September figures nearly doubling year-on-year to over 36,000 units and penetration around 8.5%. Initiatives like Battery-as-a-Service and buyback programs also support consumer adoption.
