EV sales surge in June, but 2W segment trails on H1 performance
India's electric vehicle (EV) market continued its upward trajectory in June 2025, with strong year-on-year growth in both the two-wheeler (2W) and passenger vehicle (PV) segments, according to data released by the Federation of Automobile Dealers Associations (FADA). However, despite the recent momentum, total electric two-wheeler sales for the first half of 2025 remain lower than the previous year due to a weak start. In contrast, the electric PV segment grew 43.5 per cent during the same period. In June, electric passenger vehicle (PV) sales rose 79 per cent year-on-year, reaching 13,178 units, up from 7,323 units in June 2024. Tata Motors led the segment with 4,708 units, followed by MG Motor India, which sold 3,972 units, and Mahindra & Mahindra, which sold 3,029 units. Tata Motors' EV sales in June were up 8.2 per cent compared to May, showing signs of recovery, while on a year-on-year basis, sales growth was flat at 2.4 per cent. Newer entrants like Hyundai also recorded notable growth, with sales rising 712 per cent YoY to 512 units, as it started selling the electric Creta. However, on a month-on-month basis, Hyundai's EV sales fell by 15.5 per cent. In the electric two-wheeler (2W) segment, sales reached 1,05,355 units, a 31.6 per cent increase YoY, driven by strong performances from legacy and new-age OEMs. TVS Motor Company topped the chart with 25,300 units, closely followed by Bajaj Auto, which sold 23,032 units, and Ola Electric, which sold 20,190 units. Notably, Ather Energy sold 14,526 units and Hero MotoCorp sold 7,668 units, both more than doubling their sales compared to last year, reflecting growing consumer acceptance of e-mobility solutions. Ola's sales were down 45.2 per cent year-on-year, and its market share fell from 46 per cent in June 2024 to around 20 per cent in June 2025. ALSO READ: Auto component industry seeks national strategy on critical materials Despite the strong June performance, electric 2W sales for the first half of 2025 (January–June) were down 31.5 per cent YoY, totaling 2,65,611 units compared to 3,87,782 in H1 2024. The decline is attributed to policy-related uncertainty earlier in the year and the high base effect from last year's peak, driven by subsidy wind-downs. In contrast, the electric PV segment grew 43.5 per cent during the same period, with 70,306 units sold compared to 48,998 in H1 2024. C. S. Vigneshwar, President of FADA, stated, 'Electric mobility is gathering unprecedented momentum across all segments, underpinned by the PM eDrive Scheme's mandate to make electric vehicles more accessible and affordable.' In June 2025, electric two-wheelers accounted for 7.3 per cent of total sales, up from 5.8 per cent a year earlier, reflecting rising consumer confidence. Electric passenger vehicle (PV) penetration reached 4.4 per cent, while electric commercial vehicles (CVs) doubled their share to 1.56 per cent. The expansion of charging infrastructure and support for domestic innovation are fueling record EV sales and accelerating India's transition to electric mobility.

India-made Jimny helps Suzuki top Japan imports in June, overtakes Mercedes
Suzuki Motor Corp overtook Mercedes-Benz to become Japan's top car importer in June, driven by demand for its India-built compact SUVs, led by the Jimny Nomad. The company imported 4,780 vehicles during the month, a 230-fold year-on-year increase, marking its second time leading Japan's import charts this year, after a similar performance in April, according to the Japan Automobile Importers Association, as reported by Bloomberg. The five-door Jimny Nomad, an extended version of Suzuki's cult off-roader, has ignited a buying frenzy in Japan since its April debut. Priced at JPY 2.65 million (around $18,300), the model received 50,000 pre-orders within days, overwhelming the company's monthly sales target of 1,200 units and forcing a temporary halt to new bookings just four days after launch. To meet demand, Suzuki plans to scale up Jimny Nomad production at its Indian facilities starting this month. The Fronx, another India-made SUV added to Suzuki's Japan lineup in October, has also contributed to the surge in imports. Yet, while Suzuki thrives in Japan thanks to its Indian manufacturing base, its Indian subsidiary, Maruti Suzuki, has seen some slowdown in its home market. Maruti Suzuki domestic sales drop in June Maruti Suzuki India Ltd reported a 6 per cent year-on-year drop in total sales in June 2025 to 167,993 units, down from 179,228 units a year earlier. Domestic passenger vehicle dispatches fell 13 per cent to 118,906 units, as part of a broader slowdown in small-car sales. 'The slowdown in passenger vehicle sales is largely due to a sharp decline in the smaller segment cars,' said Rahul Bharti, senior executive officer at Maruti Suzuki India, as earlier reported by Business Standard. 'This is clearly an affordability issue.' He noted that since 2019, industry-wide entry-level prices have jumped over 70 per cent, largely due to tighter safety and emissions regulations, while small-car sales have dropped by more than 70 per cent. Maruti Suzuki, did, however, note a significant rise in its exports to 37,842 units from 31,033 reported in June 2024. Creta becomes India's top-selling PV in H1 2025 In the SUV segment, South Korean automaker Hyundai Motor India's mid-size Creta was the top-selling passenger vehicle in India in June with 15,786 units, narrowly ahead of Maruti's Dzire (15,484). The Creta also ranked as the second best-selling vehicle in the first half of the calendar year 2025 with 100,560 units, just behind the Wagon R (101,424). US-made cars lack 'Japan-friendly offerings' Back in Japan, Suzuki's surge marks a broader shift in consumer attitudes. 'Japanese consumers don't particularly care whether vehicles are produced in Thailand, India or Japan if they want a particular car,' Takeshi Miyao, analyst at Carnorama, told Bloomberg. He contrasted that with the continued struggles of US brands like GM and Ford, which still lack small, Japan-friendly offerings. Honda, too, is leveraging India's manufacturing ecosystem. Its India-built WR-V, launched domestically last year at JPY 2.1 million, which contributed to a 22-fold rise in Honda's annual Japan imports in 2024 to over 45,000 units — earning it the top importer slot in Q1 2025. Mercedes-Benz leads Japan's imports in H1 2025 Yet over the H1 2025, Mercedes-Benz retained its overall lead with 25,016 units imported into Japan, followed by Honda (~22,000) and Suzuki in third. Nissan ranked ninth, with its Thai-made Kicks crossover. Among American brands, Stellantis-owned Jeep led with over 4,000 units imported, outpacing GM and Ford.
