Retail sales of electric cars have hit a new benchmark in June 2026. Automakers delivered 31,253 units, up 12 percent from the previous record of 27,977 units in May 2026. This is also the first time that monthly electric car sales in India have surpassed 30,000 units. On a year-on-year (YoY) basis, volumes have more than doubled, rising 106 percent from 15,203 units.
Tata Motors and Mahindra continue to power this growth story. While Tata Motors sold over 10,000 units for the second month in a row and scaled a new high in June, Mahindra surpassed the 7,000-unit milestone for the first time, crossing 6,000 units for two straight months. Maruti Suzuki, Vinfast India and BYD India also registered their highest monthly retails since their market entry. Let’s take a close look at the top players’ market performance in June 2026.
Tata Motors
June 2026: 12,023 units, up 125 percent YoY
Tata Motors maintains its number one position in the market with 12,023 EVs sold, up 125 percent from 5,355 units in June 2025, marking the first time it has surpassed 12,000 units. It’s the second consecutive month the automaker has crossed 10,000 units, having sold 10,865 units in May. This gives the company a 38 percent share of the electric car segment, up 3 percentage points YoY. While the Nexon EV continues to be Tata’s volume driver, the updated Tiago EV has helped accelerate the momentum generated by the rollout of the new Punch EV in February this year. Both models draw a large percentage of first-time EV buyers.
Mahindra
June 2026: 7,645 units, up 118 percent YoY
Mahindra registered its highest monthly sales in June, surpassing 7,000 units for the first time. It clocked 7,645 units, up 17 percent from 6,530 in May 2026, capturing a 24 percent market share. Year-on-year growth was 118 percent (June 2025: 3,513 units). While the BE 6 and XEV 9e continue to see demand, the XEV 9S has given Mahindra a new charge.
JSW MG Motor India
June 2026: 5,785 units, up 23 percent YoY
Third-ranked JSW MG Motor India sold 5,785 units last month, up 23 percent YoY from 4,691 units. However, its EV market share fell to 18.51 percent from 31 percent a year ago. The Windsor EV remains its bestselling product among the portfolio that includes the M9 MPV, Cyberster roadster, ZS EV and Comet EV.
Maruti Suzuki
June 2026: 1,896 units
India’s passenger vehicle market leader continues to see month-on-month growth for its sole EV, the e Vitara. Maruti Suzuki delivered 1,896 e Vitaras in June, the highest monthly tally since its launch in January this year. With this, retail sales have crossed the 6,000 mark. It is understood that the company has allocated only 2,000-2,500 units for the domestic market but far more for exports due to production constraints and that it plans to increase the e Vitara’s production capacity from August or September this year. The e Vitara is the third most exported SUV in the current fiscal.
Vinfast India
June 2026: 1,394 units
The local arm of Vietnamese EV major Vinfast also registered its highest-ever monthly sales in June – 1,394 units. This gives it a 4 percent share in the segment. Of the four models in its portfolio, two (VF6 and VF7) are SUVs, and two (VF MPV 7 and VF Limo Green taxi) are MPVs. On the wholesale front (April-May 2026), the VF7 is outselling the VF6. For the two MPVs, the Limo Green e-taxi is witnessing far more demand than the VF MPV 7. Vinfast will be looking to achieve higher sales traction when it launches the VF5 hatchback, which is likely to go head-to-head against the Tata Tiago EV or Punch EV, depending on its specifications.
BYD India
June 2026: 860 units, up 69 percent YoY
BYD India also scaled a new monthly high in June with 860 units, up 69 percent YoY (June 2025: 508 units). Its previous best was 615 units in October 2025. A reason behind higher sales last month could be that BYD is raising its EV prices by 1-2 percent from July 1, the second time this year. Meanwhile, the Chinese EV maker has confirmed plans to introduce the Seal U later this year, its first PHEV offering.
Kia India
June 2026: 446 units, up 792 percent YoY
Ranked above Hyundai in June and below seventh-placed BMW India (486 units), Kia India sold 446 EVs, up 792 percent on a low year-ago base (June 2025: 50 units). Following the launch of the Carens Clavis EV MPV, which joined the far more expensive EV6 and EV9 imported as CBUs, Kia has seen its monthly numbers improve compared to last year.
Hyundai Motor India
June 2026: 347 units, down 42 percent YoY
Hyundai delivered 347 EVs last month, down 42 percent YoY (June 2025: 596 units). The company, which has only two models in its EV portfolio (Creta Electric and Ioniq 5), continues to feel the heat of intense competition in the EV space where market leaders Tata Motors, Mahindra and JSW MG Motor have expanded their portfolios rapidly across multiple price points to draw more buyers. As a result, Hyundai’s EV share is down to less than 1 percent from 4 percent a year ago.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor
June 2026: 32 units
Toyota Kirloskar Motor, the latest mainstream manufacturer to plug into the EV industry in India, delivered 32 units of the Urban Cruiser Ebella in June. The Toyota Ebella is the badge-engineered version of the Maruti e Vitara. The Ebella is currently sold in a single trim, albeit priced at a considerable premium over its Maruti cousin.
Luxury electric carmakers sell record 801 units in June
In tandem with the mass-market EV segment, demand for luxury electric cars also reached a new monthly high in June. Retail sales of the eight OEMs in this sub-segment more than doubled YoY to 801 units (June 2025: 390 units). Month-on-month growth was 20 percent, beating the previous best of 665 units in May 2026. This strong performance continues to be driven by the top two OEMs, BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
BMW India
BMW, which topped the luxury EV category in FY2026 with a record 3,898 units, maintained its No. 1 status with a 61 percent share of the segment, selling 486 units, up 101 percent YoY (June 2025: 242 units). Overall, it ranks seventh in the electric car market.
Mercedes-Benz
EV sales more than doubled for Mercedes, rising 107 percent to 234 units from 113 units. The luxury carmaker registered strong growth on the back of the recent launch of the CLA Electric sedan, which replaced the combustion-powered A-Class sedan, as well as the EQA and EQB electric SUVs in India.
Volvo
Volvo sold 36 EVs in June 2026, up 38 percent YoY (June 2025: 26 units). This gives it a 4 percent share of the luxury EV market, down from the 7 percent it had a year ago.
Tesla
Tesla, which has expanded its portfolio in India with the extended-wheelbase six-seater Model Y L, sold 35 units last month. This takes its cumulative sales in the January-June period to 234 units. Tesla India’s highest monthly sales to date were 69 units in September and December 2025.
Porsche, Audi and Rolls-Royce
German sports car maker Porsche sold 8 units last month; Audi and Rolls-Royce sold one each, and JLR did not sell a single EV last month, as per Vahan.
These eight luxury EV OEMs accounted for 2.56 percent of the 31,253 electric cars sold in June 2026.
