India’s automobile market is going through a big shift. Electric vehicles (EVs) are steadily gaining ground over traditional internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles. In June 2025, new data shows some interesting trends across the two-wheeler, three-wheeler, and four-wheeler categories. Let’s take a closer look at how the major OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturers) performed in terms of EV and ICE sales.
EV Sales on the Rise
In June 2025, EVs continued their upward journey in all segments. The EV market penetration reached:
- 7.3% in the 2-wheeler segment
- 33.4% in passenger 3-wheelers
- 21.3% in cargo 3-wheelers
- 4.5% in 4-wheelers
Compared to May 2025, the EV share increased in most segments, showing that more Indian buyers are now considering electric as a real option.
Two-Wheelers: EV Startups Lead, Legacy Players Catching Up
The 2-wheeler market is still dominated by ICE vehicles. Hero MotoCorp, the largest player, sold 393,832 units, but only 1.9% of those were electric.
On the other hand, startups like Ola Electric (20,190 units) and Ather Energy (14,526 units) are selling only electric scooters. These companies are showing strong demand and growth.
TVS Motor has made good progress, with around 9% of their sales coming from electric scooters. Bajaj Auto is doing slightly better with 14.7% EV share, thanks to its Chetak electric scooter.
However, major brands like Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, and Royal Enfield still have very little to no EV presence. They are yet to take the EV wave seriously.
Three-Wheelers: EVs Becoming the Norm
The 3-wheeler market is one of the strongest sectors for electric adoption. In June, 33.4% of all passenger 3-wheelers sold were electric.
Mahindra Last Mile Mobility continues to dominate this space, selling 6,618 passenger units with nearly 95.5% EV share. Bajaj Auto sold 31,894 units in this segment, but only 19.5% were electric. Piaggio had a 21.3% EV share, while TVS Motor was impressive with 45% EVs.
Pure electric brands like Omega Seiki and TI Clean Mobility maintained a 100% EV record.
In the cargo 3-wheeler space, EV penetration dropped slightly to 21.3%, from 23.6% in May. Bajaj Auto had the largest sales (4,246 units), but only 6.1% were electric. Mahindra performed well again with 58% of cargo 3-wheelers being electric.
Startups like Euler Motors, 3EV Industries, and Omega Seiki are completely focused on EVs in the cargo segment, and they continue to gain ground.
Four-Wheelers: Tata Motors and MG Leading the Way
In the 4-wheeler passenger vehicle segment, EV sales are growing slowly but steadily. The EV penetration in June was 4.5%, up from 4.1% in May.
Tata Motors is clearly the leader here, with 4,705 EVs sold and a 14% EV share of its total passenger vehicle sales. Mahindra & Mahindra is also making progress with a 7.4% EV share, mostly from its XUV400 and recently launched BE models.
The surprise leader in percentage terms is JSW MG Motor, with 80.2% of its total sales being electric. This includes popular models like the MG ZS EV and Comet EV.
However, big ICE players like Maruti Suzuki (116,452 vehicles), Hyundai, Kia, Toyota, and Honda have very low or nearly zero EV contribution. These brands are still far behind in India’s EV journey.
What This Means for the Future
These numbers clearly show that India’s electric vehicle market is maturing. While ICE vehicles still dominate, EVs are catching up faster than expected—especially in the 3-wheeler and 2-wheeler segments.
Startups like Ola Electric, Ather, Omega Seiki, and Euler Motors are reshaping the landscape. Meanwhile, established players like Tata Motors, Mahindra, and TVS are stepping up their EV game.
Brands that are not investing in EVs today may find it difficult to survive in the future, as consumer interest and government support for EVs continue to grow.
EVs are no longer just for the environmentally conscious—they are becoming practical, efficient, and cost-saving options for all kinds of users.
