Tata Motors has crossed a significant milestone in India’s electric vehicle (EV) journey, with its EV arm, TATA.ev, recording over 250,000 cumulative sales.
In an official statement, the company said it currently commands a 66 per cent share of all electric passenger vehicles sold in the country so far. The achievement underscores the rapid evolution of electric mobility in India, transitioning from a niche category to a mainstream choice for consumers.
The Nexon.ev has been at the forefront of this shift, becoming the first electric car in India to surpass 100,000 units in sales. Tata Motors now offers a broad range of electric models, including the Tiago.ev, Punch.ev, Nexon.ev, Curvv.ev and Harrier.ev, which are collectively operating in more than 1,000 towns and cities nationwide. Company data indicate that 84 per cent of customers use their EVs as their primary vehicles, with average annual driving distances of around 20,000 kilometres.
Commenting on the milestone, Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director and CEO of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., said the surge in EV sales highlights how electric mobility is becoming an integral part of daily life in India. He attributed this progress to supportive government policies, collaboration with suppliers and charging infrastructure partners, and growing consumer confidence in EV technology. Chandra reaffirmed the company’s focus on making electric mobility accessible across segments while strengthening the ecosystem and investing in locally developed technologies.
To support its expanding EV base, Tata Motors has set up more than two lakh charging points across the country, including 100 MegaCharging Hubs offering fast-charging capabilities. The company has also developed 1,500 dedicated EV service bays manned by 5,000 trained technicians. Over half of the components used in its electric vehicles are locally sourced, helping reduce dependence on imports.
Looking ahead, Tata Motors plans to further expand its EV portfolio with upcoming models such as the Sierra.ev and the Avinya range by 2026. The automaker aims to introduce five new EV brands by 2030 and scale up its charging infrastructure to one million charging points by the end of the decade.
