Datanomics: India EV penetration subdued even as biggies enter market
According to the data from Federation of Automobile Dealers Association (FADA), the EV penetration in India was just 7.8 per cent in FY25, marginally up from 7.1 per cent in FY24 premium Yash Kumar Singhal New Delhi Listen to This Article The electric vehicle ecosystem is set to get a boost in India with Tesla's first store in the country opening its doors on Tuesday in Mumbai. Its rival, Vietnamese EV firm VinFast, has also started bookings for its VF6 and VF7 models. However, the government's target to raise EV sales to 30 per cent of vehicle sales, or attain 30 per cent EV penetration, by 2030, looks unachievable at the current pace of adoption. Report card According to data from the Federation of Automobile Dealers Association (Fada), the EV penetration in India was just 7.8 per cent in 2024-25 (FY25), marginally up

EV giant Tesla's Model Y in India to cost more than in US or Europe
Tesla opens bookings for Model Y in India at up to ₹67.89 lakh due to high import duties, with first deliveries expected later in 2025 from Shanghai plant Sohini Das Mumbai On a rain-soaked Tuesday morning in Mumbai's commercial hub, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC), a large crowd of media personnel gathered outside American electric vehicle (EV) giant Tesla's first Indian 'Experience Centre'. A middle-aged woman with her teenage daughter in a pink raincoat stood among curious onlookers outside the showroom. 'I've been following news on Tesla and thought of dropping by since I was in the neighbourhood,' she said, adding that the brand already enjoys strong recall in India for its driverless car technology. However, Tesla is not bringing its full self-driving (FSD) technology to India just yet. Maharashtra's Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis emerged from the 4,000 sq. ft showroom displaying two Tesla Model Y cars—one white, one red. 'Consider Maharashtra as a partner in your journey,' said Fadnavis, expressing hope that Tesla would consider setting up R&D and manufacturing facilities in India. He recalled riding a Tesla vehicle in the US back in 2015. Tesla opened bookings for the Model Y—billed as the world's bestselling car in 2023 and 2024—at ₹59.89 lakh for the rear-wheel drive (RWD) version and ₹67.89 lakh for the long-range RWD. This makes it more expensive in India than in markets like the US (₹40 lakh), China (₹31.5 lakh), or even Germany (₹46 lakh), owing to import duties and shipping costs. India imposes tariffs of 70 to 110 per cent on fully built imported cars. The vehicles will initially be imported from Tesla's Shanghai plant. The company will begin deliveries of the Model Y RWD in late Q3 calendar 2025, and the Long Range RWD variant in Q4CY2025. Bookings can be made on the Tesla website for ₹22,000 or directly at the Mumbai showroom. Coincidentally, Vietnamese automaker VinFast also began bookings on Tuesday for its premium electric SUVs, the VF 6 and VF 7, with a ₹21,000 booking amount. Fadnavis expressed confidence in Tesla's success in India. 'People in India are eagerly waiting for Tesla. I am sure you will find one of your best markets here once you start deliveries,' he said. Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra welcomed Tesla with a post on X (formerly Twitter): 'Welcome to India, @elonmusk and @Tesla. One of the world's largest EV opportunities just got more exciting. Competition drives innovation, and there's plenty of road ahead. Looking forward to seeing you at the charging station.' Tesla's Model Y (500–622 km range, 0–100 km/h in 5.6–5.9 seconds, 15.4-inch touchscreen) faces stiff competition in India. Rivals include the BYD Seal Performance (₹53 lakh, 580 km range, 0–100 km/h in 3.8 seconds, 15.6-inch rotating screen, panoramic sunroof) and the Kia EV6, priced ₹60–65 lakh with a 708 km range. The Mercedes EQB is priced at around ₹72 lakh, and the BMW iX1 ranges from ₹50–65 lakh. Tesla's entry into India is widely seen as a move to offset slowing momentum in its key markets—the US and China. Chinese rival BYD is closing in, having sold 1.76 million EVs in 2024 compared to Tesla's 1.79 million. India holds promise, particularly in the luxury EV segment. According to VAHAN data, EVs accounted for 11 per cent of luxury vehicle sales between January–May 2025, up from 7 per cent during the same period in 2024—a 66 per cent year-on-year rise. However, luxury cars priced above ₹55–60 lakh still represent just around 1 per cent of the Indian passenger vehicle market, which ranks third globally. Isabel Fan, Tesla's Director for Southeast Asia, told reporters the company will set up 16 Supercharger stations and after-sales service centres in both Mumbai and Delhi. Each city will also have 15–16 slower destination chargers. Additionally, Tesla is offering free home charging installation for a limited period. While India could emerge as a significant market for Tesla globally, the launch event in Mumbai was underwhelming. Unlike Apple's 2023 BKC store launch, which saw CEO Tim Cook in attendance, Tesla's CEO and co-founder Elon Musk was notably absent. The event was marred by poor organisation and confusion. Several bystanders expressed disappointment at the high pricing. 'I was eagerly waiting for the Tesla, but expected it would be priced around ₹30–35 lakh, similar to the US. I would have considered it alongside a Mahindra or Tata EV. But now, I'm not sure it lives up to the hype at this price,' said a young banker working in the same complex.

VinFast India commences pre-bookings for the VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs
VinFast India has officially begun accepting pre-bookings for its VF6 and VF7 electric SUVs, ahead of their expected market debut in August 2025. Customers interested in booking either model can do so via the company's official website, by paying a fully refundable token amount of ₹ 21,000. VinFast's entry adds momentum to India's growing EV segment, especially in the mid-size and premium electric SUV categories. Some of the specifications of these upcoming SUVs are known, while the complete details and pricing are yet to be announced. Here's what we know about the upcoming VF6 and VF7 SUVs: The VinFast VF6 is available in two variants, namely Eco and Plus. The Eco version produces 178 bhp and 250 Nm of torque. The WLTP-certified driving range is claimed to be up to 399 km with the 59.6 kWh battery pack. The Plus variant delivers a higher output of 204 bhp and 310 Nm, with a slightly lower range of 381 km while using the same battery capacity. The larger VF7 features a 75.3 kWh battery. In its Eco trim, it generates 204 bhp and 310 Nm of torque, with an estimated range of 450 km. The Plus variant of the VF7 comes with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup, producing 354 bhp and 500 Nm of torque. Despite its higher performance, the range stands at approximately 431 km. VinFast has partnered with 13 dealer groups to establish 32 dealerships across 27 Indian cities. The first phase of dealership openings will focus on major metropolitan areas and emerging EV hubs such as Delhi, Gurugram, Noida, Chennai, Bengaluru, Ahmedabad and Kolkata. It will also include places like Calicut, Visakhapatnam, Vijayawada, Cochin, Bhubaneswar, Trivandrum, Chandigarh, Hyderabad, Pune, Jaipur, Lucknow, Coimbatore, Surat, Shimla, Agra, Jhansi, Gwalior, Vapi, Vadodara, and Goa. To support its growing footprint, VinFast is collaborating with RoadGrid, myTVS, and Global Assure to set up a comprehensive charging and after-sales service ecosystem. With these alliances, the carmaker aims to deliver real-time charging station access, AI-powered diagnostics and unified digital platforms to support VinFast's rapidly expanding customer base. In a move towards sustainable mobility, VinFast has partnered with BatX Energies, an Indian clean-tech company specialising in battery recycling, recovery of rare metals, and repurposing end-of-life batteries. Both the VF6 and VF7 will be locally assembled at VinFast's upcoming facility in Thoothukudi, Tamil Nadu. The VF6 is positioned as the brand's mass-market offering, aimed at competitors like the Hyundai Creta Electric, Tata Curvv EV, and Mahindra BE 6. The larger and more premium VF7 will take on rivals such as the Mahindra XEV 9e and BYD Atto 3.
