India's EV Market Expands Rapidly Amid Charging Infrastructure Challenges

India's electric vehicle (EV) market is growing rapidly, with sales surpassing 2.3 million units in 2025 and Mumbai leading Maharashtra with a 23% rise in EV registrations in 2025-26. Despite nearly 5.9 million EVs on roads, public charging infrastructure remains limited, with one charger per 225 vehicles nationwide. Efforts focus on strategic charger deployment and improved reliability, supported by policy measures easing installation barriers, contributing to increased adoption of electric two-wheelers, cars, and commercial vehicles.
