New Delhi – The Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA) has revealed its July 2025 EV retail data, and if numbers could hum, they’d be doing it quietly—just like an electric motor. While the overall auto retail scene idled in neutral, electric mobility kept accelerating, proving that India’s EV shift is less of a fad and more of a fully charged movement.
According to FADA President C. S. Vigneshwar, electric adoption grew across most vehicle categories—except for two-wheelers, where the market share crawled forward by just 10 basis points to 7.5% (from 7.4% in July 2024). Still, several new players in the segment managed growth rates that would make a petrol pump blush.
The three-wheeler segment, however, continued its electrifying dominance with a 62.1% market share and an 8.6% year-on-year volume boost—thanks to healthy financing options and the nation’s insatiable appetite for last-mile connectivity. Passenger vehicle EVs almost doubled their share to 4.7% from 2.4% last year, riding on broader model choices and sweetened state incentives. Electric commercial vehicles, though still in the “smaller battery pack” phase of life, surged 52% year-on-year, touching a 1.63% market share—powered by fleet orders and better model availability.
“The EV transition is no longer just the playground of early adopters,” Vigneshwar noted. “We’re now seeing mainstream consumers and fleets joining in. With the festive season around the corner, policy support, easy financing, and faster charging networks will be key to sustaining this momentum.”
