India has been witnessing an increasing number of electric vehicles. While EV adoption in the country is led by low-speed two-wheelers and three-wheelers, the passenger vehicle segment too is picking up slowly but gradually. Tata Nexon EV is the bestselling car in the electric car segment of India, while other automakers like MG Motor, Hyundai, Kia, BYD, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, Audi, Jaguar and BMW too have already launched their electric cars in the country.

Meanwhile, replying to a separate question, Gadkari said that there are 27,25,87,170 registered vehicles in India, which is 13.24 per cent of the total 2,05,81,09,486 vehicles registered in 207 countries.
