Abstract
India's electric vehicle market has grown rapidly, with EVs accounting for approximately 8 percent of new vehicle registrations in 2025 and total sales crossing 2.55 million units in FY2025-26. This paper examines EV adoption trends across vehicle segments, identifies the principal barriers constraining adoption, and analyses the policy and market enablers driving growth. Drawing on VAHAN portal registration data, Ministry of Heavy Industries disclosures, and assessments by CEEW, IEEFA, ITDP, and JMK Research, the study finds adoption concentrated in two- and three-wheeler segments. Dominant barriers are high upfront cost, inadequate charging infrastructure, resale value uncertainty, and imported battery cell dependence. Key enablers include central demand incentives under FAME II and PM E-DRIVE, state policies, favourable total cost of ownership, and emerging domestic cell manufacturing. The paper concludes with policy recommendations on charging infrastructure, financing innovation, and battery localisation.
South Asia is rapidly motorizing, facing acute crises in urban air quality, greenhouse gas emissions, and petroleum import dependence. Electric vehicles (EVs) offer a promising transition, yet the regional evidence base remains fragmented. This scoping review, guided by the PRISMA-ScR framework, systematically maps the...

There is global pressure to increase the adoption of Electric Passenger Vehicles (EPVs), as electric cars sold in 2024
accounted for 22%, whereas in India, adoption was only 2% in 2024. Several United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (7,
9, 11, 12, and 13) highlight the importance of clean energy and climate actio...

The transition toward electric mobility has emerged as a key strategy for reducing transport-sector emissions and promoting sustainable development. Despite the rapid growth of electric vehicle (EV) registrations in India, the pace of adoption remains uneven across states and union territories. This study examines the...

The EV market in India is growing rapidly since 2020, and in 2024, the share of EVs in the total auto sales is nearing 8 per cent, with sales surpassing two million per year. This growth has been accompanied by a robust ecosystem of central and state support measures such as the Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Ele...

The electric vehicle (EV) manufacturing sector has emerged as the central pillar of the global transition towards low-carbon mobility, and India has positioned itself as an aspiring manufacturing hub through a succession of demand- and supply-side interventions. Yet the pace at which manufacturing capacity, localisatio...

This study examines whether electric-vehicle (EV) adoption is associated with lower transport-sector carbon dioxide (CO₂) emissions using a balanced panel of 31 countries observed annually from 2010 to 2022. Because EV adoption most directly affects road transport rather than economy-wide emissions, transport-sector CO...
