Electric Vehicle inference within Personal Vehicles expands by 1.91% in June, witnessing a 1.49% rise in two-wheelers.
In a notable shift in consumer preferences, the Indian automotive market is witnessing a significant trend towards electric vehicles (EVs), particularly in the two-wheeler segment. According to recent reports, the market share of petrol-powered two-wheelers has experienced a noticeable slump, with a decrease from 93.71% in May this year to 92.50% in June 2025[1].
Simultaneously, the two-wheeler EV market is experiencing steady growth, with an increase in market share over the past year. In June 2025, EVs in the two-wheeler segment saw a 1.49% increase in market share, reaching 7.28%[1]. This is a significant jump from the 5.79% recorded in June 2024, indicating a growing interest in electric scooters and motorcycles.
The growth in the two-wheeler EV market indicates a trend towards electrification in the automotive industry, which could potentially have far-reaching implications for the future of transportation in India.
In contrast, the hybrid car market share has seen a slight decline compared to previous months. In June 2025, hybrid cars contributed 8.13% to the total passenger vehicle (PV) sales, down from 8.29% in May 2025 and 8.66% in June 2024[1]. This marginal decrease in the market share of hybrid vehicles may be attributed to the increasing popularity of electric vehicles, which might be influencing consumer preferences away from hybrid models.
The market share of diesel cars remained more or less the same on a year-on-year (YoY) basis, contributing 18.48% to total sales in June 2025[1]. Meanwhile, the market share of petrol cars decreased to 48.15% in total sales last month, down from 48.32% in the previous month[1].
It's worth noting that the two-wheeler market's EV penetration is increasing, contrasting the decreasing trend in other vehicle segments. This growth in the two-wheeler EV market is not limited to the hybrid and electric segments, as alternative fuels such as CNG and LPG also contribute to the market. In June 2025, CNG and LPG models contributed 20.82% in total car sales[1].
These trends suggest that the Indian automotive market is undergoing a significant transformation, with consumers increasingly opting for cleaner and more efficient modes of transportation. As the government continues to invest in infrastructure for electric vehicles and promote their adoption, it's likely that we'll see further growth in the two-wheeler EV market in the coming months and years.
