India’s electric passenger vehicle sales jump 44% year on year in February 2026

India’s electric passenger vehicle market recorded strong momentum in February 2026, with sales rising 44% year on year. The surge reflects growing consumer confidence in electric cars as more models enter the market and charging infrastructure continues to expand across major cities and highways.

Industry data shows that the growth was largely driven by established EV players such as Tata Motors, along with rising contributions from Mahindra and MG Motor. These companies have been steadily expanding their electric portfolios with new models that target different price segments and customer needs.

The increase in sales also reflects improving ecosystem support. Government incentives, state EV policies, and the expansion of fast-charging infrastructure are making electric cars more practical for daily use. As buyers become more familiar with EV technology, range anxiety and ownership concerns are gradually reducing.

Experts believe the market could accelerate further as several upcoming electric models are expected to launch over the next year. With more affordable options and better infrastructure, India’s electric passenger vehicle segment is likely to continue its upward trajectory in 2026.
