India's electric car penetration projected to surge to 9 per cent by FY30: Report


Indian electric vehicle industry has been so far led by electric two-wheelers and three-wheelers. While the penetration of EVs in the country's passenger vehicle segment has grown significantly over the last few years, it is still lacklustre compared to electric two-wheelers. However, the situation is likely to change over the next few years, as the Indian passenger vehicle market is projected to see EV penetration surging to nine per cent by FY30.
Currently, the share of electric vehicles in the Indian passenger vehicle market is two per cent, which remained stagnant for the last two years. By FY30, this share is slated to grow to nine per cent, claims a report by Nomura. The study further stated that this shift is part of the country's broader transition towards sustainable and environment-friendly mobility solutions. The report also stated that the adoption of electric two-wheelers will rise from the current 5.8 per cent in FY25 to 10 per cent by FY27 and 20 per cent by FY30.
