India’s EV Market Booms in FY25: Over 1 Lakh Cars Sold, Kolkata Builds Big Charging Hub

New Delhi, April 11, 2025 – India’s electric vehicle (EV) market is growing fast! In the financial year 2025 (April 2024 to March 2025), more than 107,000 electric cars were sold. This shows that more and more people in India are choosing clean, green transport.

Top carmakers like Tata Motors, Hyundai, and BMW saw strong sales. Tata Motors leads the way with popular models like the Nexon EV and Punch EV. Hyundai’s stylish Ioniq 5 is doing well in the premium category, while BMW has seen good sales of its electric luxury cars like the iX and i4.

Experts say the reason for this EV success is:

  • Better prices
  • Longer battery range
  • More charging stations
  • Government discounts and policies to support EV buyers

Big Boost in Kolkata

One of the biggest highlights is Kolkata getting ready to launch one of the largest EV charging networks in India. The city is setting up hundreds of fast-charging stations for both personal and commercial electric vehicles. This move will make it easier for people to own and drive EVs without worrying about charging.

An industry expert said, “India’s EV market is growing fast. With better infrastructure and strong sales, we’re moving closer to a cleaner future.”

Challenges Still Remain

Even with all the progress, there are still some issues:

  • EVs are still expensive for many people
  • Charging stations are still hard to find in rural areas

Still, with new EV models coming and more states like Delhi and West Bengal supporting electric transport, India’s EV journey is speeding up. The future looks electric!
