Every EV registered in India over Q1 FY 2025-26 — April 2025 to June 2025. Q1 of the financial year, April to June. 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, Q1 FY 2025-26
India's electric-vehicle market registered 5,49,904 EVs in Q1 FY 2025-26. Volumes accelerated 34.0% against the 4,10,432 logged over the same 3 months of Q1 FY 2024-25.
June was the strongest month of the period at 1,88,071 EVs and April the quietest at 1,74,915, an average of 1,83,301 a month. Every one of those 3 months grew on the same month a year earlier.
June brings the monsoon onset, which sets the tone for tractor and rural two-wheeler demand for the rest of the year.

Who is selling the EVs

Bajaj Auto holds 15.3% of battery-electric registrations over full-year 2025, ahead of TVS Motor.

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.
