India’s electric car market is witnessing a significant upward movement, with a clear trend towards the premium segment. Carmakers are strategically launching more expensive electric vehicle (EV) models, a move that is reshaping the market landscape.
Sales figures indicate a substantial increase in demand for EVs priced between ₹20 lakh and ₹30 lakh. Concurrently, the proportion of electric cars available in the sub-₹10 lakh category has seen a decrease. This suggests a growing preference among consumers for higher-end electric vehicles, including luxury models, which are also experiencing strong demand.
This upward expansion of the market, while demonstrating growth in certain segments, raises questions about the accessibility and potential for mass adoption of electric vehicles across all economic strata in India.
