New Delhi, July 1: India’s passenger electric vehicle (EV) registrations recorded a sharp 90% year-on-year increase in Q1 FY27, reflecting accelerating adoption of clean mobility across the country.
The strong growth was driven by rising consumer preference for electric mobility, expanding charging infrastructure, and the introduction of new EV models across segments. Improved affordability and supportive policy measures also contributed to the surge in registrations.
Industry observers said the rapid rise highlights a significant shift in India’s automotive market, with electric vehicles gaining wider acceptance among urban and semi-urban buyers. Fleet operators and ride-hailing services have also contributed to higher demand.
The trend underscores the country’s transition towards sustainable transportation and reduced dependence on fossil fuels, aligning with broader climate and energy goals.
Experts expect EV adoption to continue its upward trajectory in the coming quarters as manufacturers expand offerings and infrastructure strengthens further.
