India's Electric Vehicle Market Expands Rapidly in Passenger and Two-Wheeler Segments
India's electric vehicle (EV) market is experiencing significant growth across passenger cars and two-wheelers in 2026. Passenger EV sales surged 102% year-on-year in Q2, driven by new launches, improved availability, and cost advantages, with EVs expected to capture 7-8% of the passenger vehicle market by year-end. In the two-wheeler segment, Bajaj Auto and Hero MotoCorp are expanding their EV market shares despite declines in their petrol vehicle segments, while TVS leads both petrol and EV markets. Industry forecasts predict continued robust growth in EV adoption.
