Every EV registered in India over Q3 FY 2025-26 — October 2025 to December 2025. Q3 of the financial year, October to December. 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, Q3 FY 2025-26
India's electric-vehicle market registered 6,86,731 EVs in Q3 FY 2025-26. Volumes grew strongly 19.5% against the 5,74,836 logged over the same 3 months of Q3 FY 2024-25.
October was the strongest month of the period at 2,44,899 EVs and December the quietest at 2,13,268, an average of 2,28,910 a month. Every one of those 3 months grew on the same month a year earlier.
October is the festive peak. Navratri and Diwali make it the single biggest registration month of most years, so year-on-year comparisons swing on where the festivals fall.

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.
