India’s electric passenger vehicle segment saw a shift in leadership during FY26, with revenue rankings changing even as sales volumes continued to show a different hierarchy.
As per The Economic Times report, Mahindra & Mahindra emerged as the highest revenue generator in the electric car segment during FY26, marking the first time it has moved ahead of Tata Motors in value terms.
Mahindra reported EV passenger vehicle revenues of ₹15,089 crore, reflecting a sharp 344% year-on-year increase and giving it a market share of 34.8%, up by 17.1% points.
Tata Motors followed closely with ₹14,995 crore in revenue, registering a 72.6% rise, while its market share declined by 10.6% points to 34.6%.
JSW MG Motor India held the third position with revenues of ₹10,194 crore and a growth rate of 94%, though its market share dipped to 23.5%. Smaller players such as Hyundai Motor India and Kia India recorded revenues of ₹1,395 crore and ₹1,048 crore, respectively.
Despite the change in revenue rankings, Tata Motors continued to dominate in terms of unit sales. The company sold 78,811 electric cars during FY26, maintaining its position as the volume leader.
JSW MG Motor India followed with sales of 53,089 units, while Mahindra recorded 42,721 units. The divergence between revenue and volume leadership highlights differences in product mix and pricing strategies across manufacturers.
Overall electric car adoption in India accelerated significantly, with registrations reaching around 200,000 units in FY26, compared with 109,000 units in the previous financial year, marking an 84% increase.
Electric vehicles currently account for about 4% of new car sales in India, but the segment is expected to expand as automakers increase their EV portfolios.
