OEM-Wise Electric SUV/PV Sales: June 2026

Tata Motors: A Widening, SUV-Anchored Lead

Tata Motors PV’s 12,023 units gave it a 38% share of the e-PV market in June 2026, up three percentage points year-on-year, and marked the second straight month it has sold more than 10,000 EVs after 10,865 units in May. The Nexon EV remains the company’s core volume driver, but the updated Tiago EV, refreshed in late May, and the Punch EV, which rolled out in February, are both pulling in a meaningful share of first-time EV buyers. Tata’s SUV portfolio widened further in June with the launch of the Tata Sierra EV, priced from ₹18.79 lakh, positioned above the Nexon EV and Curvv EV and alongside the existing Harrier EV in the company’s premium electric SUV line-up. On a six-month basis, Tata Motors has sold 57,370 e-PVs in H1 2026, up 82% year-on-year, putting it on track to cross 100,000 annual EV sales in a calendar year for the first time in CY2026.

Mahindra: A Milestone Month for the Born Electric Range

Mahindra & Mahindra registered 7,645 e-SUV units in June 2026, its highest-ever monthly figure and the first time the company has crossed 7,000 units in a month. That represents 118% year-on-year growth from 3,513 units in June 2025 and a 17% month-on-month gain over May’s 6,530 units, lifting Mahindra’s e-PV market share to 24%. The BE 6 and XEV 9e continue to anchor demand, while the XEV 9S, Mahindra’s first three-row Born Electric SUV launched in November 2025 and offered with 59 kWh, 70 kWh and 79 kWh battery options, is adding fresh momentum above the two-row models. Mahindra’s H1 2026 e-PV retails stand at 34,131 units, up 147% year-on-year, a growth rate ahead of every other major OEM in the segment this half-year, and its CY2025 full-year total of 37,235 units will be surpassed by mid-July 2026 at current run rates.

MG, Vinfast and BYD: The Rest of the Field

JSW MG Motor India held third position with 5,785 units, up 23% year-on-year from 4,691 units in June 2025, giving it an 18.5% e-PV share. The Windsor EV remains MG’s best-selling model in the segment. Vinfast India posted its highest-ever monthly sales at 1,394 units, a 4% share; of its four-model India line-up, the VF6 and VF7 are SUVs while the VF MPV 7 and VF Limo Green taxi are MPVs, with the VF7 currently outselling the VF6 on the wholesale side. BYD India also set a new monthly high at 860 units, up 69% year-on-year from 508 units, a share of roughly 3%; the company is raising EV prices by 1–2% from July 1, the second such increase this year, which may have pulled some June demand forward.

Maruti Suzuki’s e Vitara: Constrained Supply, Growing Demand

Maruti Suzuki’s e Vitara retailed 1,896 units in June 2026 per Vahan data, its best month since the model’s January 2026 launch and a milestone that takes cumulative retail sales past 6,000 units, a month after wholesale dispatches first crossed 7,000 in May. The company has said production constraints are currently limiting domestic allocation to roughly 2,000–2,500 units a month, with a larger share of output directed to export markets, where the e Vitara is currently the third most-exported SUV in the current fiscal year. Maruti has indicated plans to expand e Vitara production capacity from August or September 2026, which should ease the current domestic supply gap.

What the Segment’s Growth Signals

June 2026’s e-PV volumes cap a Q2 CY2026 that saw industry retails of 85,845 units, a 93% year-on-year jump, following Q1’s 62,178 units. That puts India’s e-PV market on a run rate that industry trackers expect to cross 300,000 units for the full calendar year, a milestone that would have seemed distant even twelve months ago. For dealers, the concentration of demand around a small number of SUV nameplates, Nexon EV, Punch EV, BE 6, XEV 9e and Windsor EV, means inventory planning should track model-specific momentum rather than segment-wide averages. For OEMs still building out their electric SUV line-ups, Tata’s multi-price-point strategy and Mahindra’s rapid share gains from a standing start in early 2025 are becoming the two reference points the rest of the industry is being measured against.
