India's electric vehicle market is witnessing an unprecedented boom, led by two homegrown giants: Mahindra and Tata MotorsNew EV Plans. As EV registrations nearly doubled in the June 2026 quarter, both automakers are aggressively accelerating their electric roadmaps to capture market share. While Mahindra is focusing on premium, born-electric SUVs aimed at high-profitability segments, Tata Motors is leveraging its early lead to drive scale and mass adoption.
