Chinese EVs now hold 33% share in India's electric vehicle market
Chinese electric cars are making serious moves in India, a space once mostly owned by Tata Motors and Mahindra & Mahindra.
In less than two years, brands like BYD, MG (now Chinese-owned), and Volvo (also Chinese-owned) have claimed about a third of the EV market.
Their secret sauce? Advanced tech, longer battery range, and solid reliability.
With India and China getting along better lately, these brands could get even bigger here.
Chinese EVs are reshaping what Indian buyers want
Thanks to Chinese brands stepping up their game, Indian car buyers now have more choices and access to cooler features—think better batteries and smarter tech.
MG Motor stands out for tailoring its cars to local needs.
By October 2025, Chinese companies sold over 57,000 battery EVs in India—about 33% of total sales—while Indian brands still held strong with about 64%.
The takeaway: India's EV scene is getting more diverse and competitive than ever.
