India’s EV journey is accelerating. In 2020, the country’s EV penetration was only about one-fifth of the global level — but by 2024, it had risen to over two-fifths. EV sales jumped from just 50,000 in 2016 to 2.08 million in 2024. With supportive policies and growing consumer demand, India is on track to become one of the world’s largest EV markets — reducing oil imports and cutting emissions.
