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 CY 2025 alone. It is exact for that window.
Bajaj Auto holds 15.3% of battery-electric registrations over full-year 2025, ahead of TVS Motor.

Across the 2 completed windows in our Vahan record, EV registrations went from 20,26,406 in CY 2024 to 23,56,971 in CY 2025, up 16.3% over the stretch.

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.
