The market for electric vehicles (EVs) in India is expected to increase significantly, sales of EVs are expected to reach 130,000–150,000 units by the financial year 2025 (FY25). This estimate shows how quickly electric cars are being adopted in India. With sales rising by 90% to 90,432 units in FY24, the demand for electric cars is only growing.
Government Initiatives Towards EV Growth
The Indian government’s efforts to promote an eco-friendly, sustainable, and efficient transportation sector are largely responsible for the spike in EV sales. These programs cover a wide range of vehicles. This includes the increasingly popular electric cars, trucks, e-rickshaws, and e-karts in the country.
Growth in the Passenger Vehicles Sector
For FY25, the passenger vehicle industry is expected to see a modest volume increase of between 3-5%. This projection accounts for several factors, such as the low demand for entry-level variations, a smaller order book, and the high base effect from FY24.
A strong charging infrastructure is crucial for the growth of the EV market. Tecell is leading the way with advanced charging stations and comprehensive Charge Management Software (CMS). Our solutions ensure efficient, reliable, and easy-to-use charging for EV owners.
Utility Vehicles Leading the market
The utility vehicle (UV) market has continuously outperformed the larger passenger value industry over the last ten years. A major turning point was reached in FY24 when UV sales volumes are more than those of passenger cars and vans. UVs now make up more than half of all new passenger vehicle sales, and in the medium run, it is expected that their share of the passenger vehicles market will keep growing.
Trends in Vehicle Demand
The markets for various car segments are changing. The market for premium cars is expected to grow due to a spike in demand for high-end and luxurious models. A decline in both rural and urban markets is expected to result in sustained decreased demand for entry-level varieties. This difference was underlined by Hardik Shah, Director of CareEdge Ratings, who pointed out the disparate outcomes of the premium and entry-level markets.
Conclusion
The EV industry in India is expected to grow significantly due to favourable government policies and changing consumer preferences. The 130,000–150,000 units that are expected to be sold in FY25 demonstrate the nation’s shift to sustainable mobility. The Indian automotive scene is about to undergo a radical change as the demand for premium models increases. Additionally, the utility vehicle market keeps growing.
