Mahindra Overtakes Tata Motors as India’s EV Revenue Leader for FY26

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. 

Revenue Leadership Shifts in EV Market 

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.

Volume Leadership Remains Unchanged 

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. 

Growth Drivers and Market Expansion

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.
