Tata Motors on Monday marked a defining milestone in India’s electric mobility journey as more than 2.5 lakh TATA.ev vehicles are now plying on Indian roads, reaffirming the company’s position as the pioneer and undisputed market leader in the country’s electric passenger vehicle segment.

The milestone comes at a time when electric mobility is rapidly transitioning from a niche alternative to a mainstream choice for Indian consumers—an evolution Tata Motors has played a central role in shaping. Since the launch of its first mainstream electric car, the Nexon.ev, in 2020, TATA.ev has consistently led both the market and its transformation. The Nexon.ev also became India’s first electric vehicle to surpass 1 lakh cumulative sales, setting a benchmark for EV adoption in the country.

Currently, Tata Motors commands nearly two-thirds of India’s electric passenger vehicle market, with a dominant share of about 66 per cent. The company’s expansive EV portfolio—comprising Tiago.ev, Punch.ev, Nexon.ev, Curvv.ev and Harrier.ev, along with the XPRES-T EV for fleet operators—covers multiple body styles and price points, making electric mobility accessible to a wide spectrum of customers.

Commenting on the achievement, Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director and CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., said that crossing the 2.5 lakh EV sales mark reflects how electric mobility is becoming an integral part of everyday Indian life. “Our customers are driving more, travelling farther, and increasingly trusting EVs as their only cars. Our EV journey, which began in 2018, was never about leading alone, but about building the ecosystem to enable India’s transition to clean mobility,” he said. He also credited supportive government policies, supplier partners, charging infrastructure providers and customer trust for the progress made so far.

Unmatched Charging Ecosystem

Tata Motors is powering India’s EV adoption with one of the country’s most comprehensive charging ecosystems. TATA.ev currently supports over two lakh charging points through a mix of home, community and public charging solutions. Its charging aggregator platform offers access to more than 20,000 public chargers, while the company has also established the largest network of superfast chargers, with 100 MegaCharging Hubs operational across key national corridors. These hubs feature up to 16 charging points and deliver charging speeds of 120 kW and above.

Deep Localization and Service Network

The TATA.ev ecosystem also includes the largest EV service network in India, with around 1,500 service bays dedicated exclusively to electric vehicles and more than 5,000 specially trained EV technicians nationwide. Tata Motors has made significant strides in localizing the EV value chain, including high-voltage battery packs and battery management systems developed in collaboration with Tata Group companies. Power electronics, wiring harnesses and thermal management systems have also been localized, ensuring that over 50 per cent of each TATA.ev vehicle is manufactured locally in line with the ‘Make in India’ vision.

Roadmap for the Next Phase

Looking ahead, Tata Motors is preparing for the next wave of growth in electric mobility with a focus on scale, mainstreaming and sustained leadership. Upcoming launches include the Sierra.ev and a new Punch.ev in CY26, followed by the Avinya range of premium luxury EVs by the end of the same calendar year. By FY30, the company plans to introduce five new EV nameplates, supported by multiple updates across its existing portfolio.

On the infrastructure front, Tata Motors aims to scale charging solutions significantly, targeting 4 lakh charge points—including over 30,000 public fast chargers—by CY27. By 2030, the company plans to enable one million charge points nationwide under the TATA.ev Open Collaboration framework.

The company is also focusing on expanding EV service capabilities, offering battery health checks, refurbishment services for second owners, and enabling a circular economy by repurposing used EV batteries for energy storage applications. A key future step includes sourcing locally produced high-voltage battery cells from Agratas’ upcoming gigafactory in Sanand, further strengthening supply security and India’s EV self-reliance.

With these initiatives, Tata Motors continues to set the pace for India’s electric mobility transformation, reinforcing its leadership while accelerating the nation’s transition towards a cleaner, more sustainable automotive future.
