Every EV registered in India over Q2 FY 2026-27 — July 2026 to September 2026. Q2 of the financial year, July 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, Q2 FY 2026-27
India's electric-vehicle market registered 9,72,812 EVs in Q2 FY 2026-27. Volumes surged 66.5% against the 5,84,151 logged over the same 3 months of Q2 FY 2025-26.
September was the strongest month of the period at 3,36,865 EVs and August the quietest at 3,03,141, an average of 3,24,271 a month. Every one of those 3 months grew on the same month a year earlier.
September is the quiet month before the festive peak — buyers routinely defer registrations into the auspicious October window.

Who is selling the EVs

Bajaj Auto holds 18.0% of battery-electric registrations over 2026 year to date, 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.
