Electric vehicles accounted for over 60% of all three-wheeler retail sales in June 2025, marking a sharp rise in green mobility adoption, according to data from the Federation of Indian Automobile Dealers Associations ( FADA). The share of electric three-wheelers rose to 60.2%, up from 55.5% in the same month last year, reported TOI.
Two-wheeler EVs also gained traction, touching 7.3% of total sales, a jump from just under 6% in June 2024. Passenger electric vehicles—including cars and SUVs—reached 4.4% penetration, up from 2.5% a year ago. The commercial segment saw smaller but steady growth, with EVs forming 1.6% of truck and bus sales and 0.1% of construction equipment sales.
Total vehicle retail sales in June crossed the 2-million mark, up 5% year-on-year. Growth was led by a 55% spike in construction equipment sales, driven by strong infrastructure spending. Two-wheeler sales rose 4.7%, passenger vehicles 2.5%, commercial vehicles 6.6%, and tractors 9%.
According to the TOI report, FADA president C.S. Vigneshwar said early monsoon rains and the continued uptick in electric vehicle options have influenced consumer buying decisions, especially in the two-wheeler space. He added that while incentives and new bookings supported passenger vehicle sales, liquidity constraints and geopolitical uncertainty still pose challenges.
Experts noted that EV penetration across multiple segments is nearing an inflection point. The shift signals rising consumer acceptance, bolstered by better financing options, state subsidies, and growing awareness of green alternatives.
Year-to-date figures show 6.5 million vehicles sold so far in FY25, up from 6.2 million in the same period last year, reflecting consistent if modest growth across India’s auto retail market.
