Four-wheeler sales
Tata Motors led the passenger vehicle segment with 15,198 units sold followed by MG Motor with 2,045 units. While Tata has two offerings – the Nexon and Tigor – MG Motor India has the ZS EV. Tata is updating the Nexon EV with a long-range version set to go on sale soon. Expect it to welcome more buyers to Nexon, especially considering how it will still be cheaper than other EV SUVs like the MG ZS EV. The IC-powered Nexon starts from Rs 7.42 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi).
With fuel prices continuing to rise and EV charging infrastructure expanding its footprint, and solutions such as Battery as a Service (BaaS) becoming available, the EV segment could see further growth in the current fiscal.
