Every EV registered in India over H1 FY 2025-26 — April 2025 to September 2025. The first half of the financial year, April to September. Month-by-month volumes, the manufacturer leaderboard, which segments those EVs are in, and the same window in every earlier year on record.
EV sales month by month, H1 FY 2025-26
India's electric-vehicle market registered 11,34,055 EVs in H1 FY 2025-26. Volumes rose sharply 22.1% against the 9,28,912 logged over the same 6 months of H1 FY 2024-25.
July was the strongest month of the period at 1,97,337 EVs and April the quietest at 1,74,915, an average of 1,89,009 a month. Every one of those 6 months grew on the same month a year earlier.
July sits inside the monsoon, historically a soft month for urban showroom footfall and a strong one for farm equipment.

Who is selling the EVs
Our Vahan data holds manufacturer volumes split by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so the EV leaderboard below covers full-year 2025 rather than H1 FY 2025-26 alone. It is exact for that window.
Bajaj Auto holds 15.3% of battery-electric registrations over full-year 2025, ahead of TVS Motor.

Which segments the EVs are in
The chart is period-exact: it is the battery-electric share of every vehicle registered in each month of H1 FY 2025-26. The split by segment underneath comes from a calendar-year table — Vahan publishes class against fuel only across a whole year — so it covers full-year 2025.

More from the reports desk
Source. Every figure is a vehicle registration, taken daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source FADA and the industry use for retail data. Registrations are not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. "EV" means battery electric (Vahan fuels PURE EV and ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately. Information only, not investment advice.
