India's electric vehicle (EV) retail sales reached a record high in June 2026, reflecting strong adoption across vehicle segments. According to the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA), EV retail sales increased nearly 63% year-on-year (YoY) to 3,06,220 units, marking the highest monthly sales recorded by the industry.
The growth came despite a delayed monsoon and a seasonally weaker demand period. During the month, EVs accounted for more than 12% of total vehicle retail sales, marking the first time EV penetration crossed this milestone.
June 2026 witnessed the highest monthly EV retail sales recorded by FADA across all vehicle segments.
According to FADA:
Total EV retail sales stood at 3,06,220 units, up nearly 63% YoY.
Overall EV penetration crossed 12% of total vehicle retail sales for the first time.
Electric passenger vehicles (PVs) and electric commercial vehicles (CVs) recorded their highest-ever monthly retail sales.
Growth was driven by broad-based demand across two-wheelers, three-wheelers, passenger vehicles, and commercial vehicles.
FADA President C S Vigneshwar said June represented a defining month for India's EV transition, with record retail sales across vehicle categories and growing participation from both legacy automakers and new entrants.
