July 2026 EV Sales : India’s electric vehicle market continued to remain in focus in July 2026, with electric two-wheelers maintaining their position as the largest-volume EV category. At the same time, electric cars continued to attract buyers across different price segments, while commercial EV adoption also remained an important part of the market.
This July 2026 EV Sales Report looks at the best-performing electric vehicles across three major categories — electric bikes and scooters, electric cars, and electric commercial vehicles. The report covers the top five models in each category and compares their July performance with the previous month wherever reliable model-wise registration data is available.
Top 5 Electric Bikes & Scooters in July 2026
The electric two-wheeler segment remained highly competitive in July. Established manufacturers such as TVS, Bajaj, Ather and Hero continued to fight for market share, while Ola Electric remained among the important players. { July 2026 EV Sales }
1. TVS iQube – 52,130 Units
The TVS iQube secured the top position among electric two-wheelers in July 2026 with 52,130 units. The model had recorded 47,006 units in June 2026.
This means the iQube registered a month-on-month increase of approximately 10.9%. The strong performance helped TVS strengthen its position in the electric scooter market.
The iQube’s practical design, multiple variants and wide availability have helped it appeal to buyers looking for an everyday electric scooter. Its strong July numbers also show that competition in the premium and mass-market electric scooter categories is becoming increasingly intense.
2. Bajaj Chetak – 43,229 Units
The Bajaj Chetak finished July 2026 in second position with 43,229 units. In June, the electric scooter recorded 43,234 units.
The difference was only 5 units, meaning the Chetak’s month-on-month performance was virtually flat. Despite missing the first position, its consistent sales demonstrate strong demand for Bajaj’s electric scooter range.
The Chetak also benefits from Bajaj’s established brand presence and expanding electric scooter portfolio. Its retro-inspired design combined with modern electric technology continues to attract buyers in urban markets.
3. Ather – 28,602 Units
Ather ranked third with 28,602 units in July 2026. The company had recorded 31,188 units in June.
As a result, July sales declined by approximately 8.3% month-on-month.
Despite the decline, Ather remained comfortably inside the top three. The company’s Rizta and 450-series electric scooters give it a presence across both family-oriented and performance-focused segments.
Ather’s July performance indicates that while the brand continues to have strong demand, the increasing number of competitors is putting pressure on established EV manufacturers.
4. Hero Vida – 20,940 Units
Hero MotoCorp’s electric brand Vida recorded 20,940 units in July 2026, compared with 21,812 units in June.
This represents a month-on-month decline of approximately 4.0%.
Vida nevertheless retained fourth place in the ranking. Hero’s large two-wheeler network and growing focus on electric mobility give the brand an important advantage as EV adoption expands beyond India’s biggest cities.
5. Ola Electric – 13,113 Units
Ola Electric completed the top five with 13,113 units in July 2026. The company had registered 16,144 units in June.
Ola therefore recorded an approximately 18.8% month-on-month decline, the sharpest decline among the five leading electric two-wheeler players in this ranking.
The July numbers highlight how competitive India’s electric scooter market has become, with established manufacturers gaining ground and buyers having more choices than before.

Top 5 Electric Cars in July 2026
The electric passenger-vehicle segment is also becoming increasingly important in India. Tata Motors continues to have a strong presence through models such as the Nexon EV, Punch EV and Tiago EV, while Mahindra, MG and other manufacturers are expanding their EV portfolios. { July 2026 EV Sales }
1. Tata Nexon EV
The Tata Nexon EV remained one of the most important electric-car models in India’s market during July. Its combination of SUV styling, multiple battery options and established brand support has helped it maintain strong consumer demand.
2. Tata Punch EV
The Tata Punch EV continued to be another major volume contributor for Tata Motors. Its compact SUV format makes it particularly relevant for urban buyers looking for an affordable electric vehicle with higher seating and practical dimensions.
3. Mahindra XUV400
The Mahindra XUV400 remained among the notable electric SUVs in the market, offering buyers a larger SUV alternative in the electric segment.
4. MG Windsor EV
The MG Windsor EV continued to attract attention with its spacious cabin, practical design and positioning in the family EV segment.
5. Tata Tiago EV
The Tata Tiago EV continued to represent one of the more accessible options in India’s electric passenger-vehicle market, particularly for buyers entering EV ownership at a lower price point.
Top 5 Electric Cars in July 2026
The electric passenger-vehicle market continued to expand in July 2026, with total EV registrations remaining at a strong level. Vahan-based data shows Tata Motors maintained its leadership, while Mahindra and MG remained the other major players. During the month, the passenger-vehicle EV segment recorded strong year-on-year growth, reflecting rising consumer interest in electric mobility.{ July 2026 EV Sales }
1. Tata Nexon EV
The Tata Nexon EV remained one of India’s most important electric-car nameplates in July. Tata’s EV portfolio continued to be led by the Nexon EV, according to industry sales analysis.
Its combination of SUV styling, multiple battery options and established service support continues to make it a major choice among Indian EV buyers. However, Tata’s total July EV registrations should not be confused with Nexon EV-only sales because manufacturer-level figures include the company’s complete electric portfolio.{ July 2026 EV Sales }
2. MG Windsor EV
The MG Windsor EV continued to be a major performer in India’s electric passenger-car market. JSW MG Motor had already announced that the Windsor crossed 75,000 cumulative units in July 2026, while the company described it as India’s best-selling EV.
The Windsor’s strong position comes from its spacious cabin, family-oriented packaging and Battery-as-a-Service ownership option. MG also recorded its highest-ever monthly overall sales in June 2026 at 7,568 units, with the Windsor contributing significantly to the company’s performance.
3. Tata Punch EV
The Tata Punch EV remained another important contributor to Tata’s electric-car volumes. Its compact SUV format makes it particularly attractive to urban buyers who want an EV with a higher seating position and easy city manoeuvrability.
The Punch EV is also positioned below larger electric SUVs, allowing Tata to address a wider range of customers. Importantly, sales reports that show more than 20,000 Punch units are combined Punch and Punch EV figures, so they should not be presented as EV-only sales. { July 2026 EV Sales }
4. Mahindra XUV400
The Mahindra XUV400 remained part of the established electric-SUV market, although Mahindra’s newer EV portfolio has increasingly changed the company’s position in the segment.
Mahindra’s overall EV performance has been particularly strong. In the first half of 2026, the company sold 34,131 EVs, up 147% year-on-year, making it the second-largest EV manufacturer during the period. { July 2026 EV Sales }
5. Tata Tiago EV
The Tata Tiago EV continued to serve as one of the more accessible electric passenger cars in India’s market. Its relatively compact dimensions and city-focused positioning make it relevant for first-time EV buyers.
Tata’s June EV sales reached 12,023 units, and the company identified the updated Tiago EV, alongside the Punch EV, as an important contributor to the growth of its portfolio.
Top 5 Electric Commercial Vehicles
Electric commercial mobility is developing on a different scale from passenger cars. In July 2026, Vahan data recorded 2,246 electric LCV registrations, with Tata leading the segment at 1,004 units, followed by Euler with 539 units and Mahindra with 298 units.
The electric three-wheeler segment was considerably larger. July 2026 recorded 35,863 L5 electric three-wheelers, with Mahindra leading the OEM rankings at 11,179 units, followed by Bajaj at 9,992 units and TVS at 3,455 units.
Because publicly available July data is primarily reported OEM-wise rather than model-wise, assigning exact model-level sales figures to a Top 5 commercial-EV ranking would risk mixing manufacturer totals with individual vehicle sales. Therefore, the commercially relevant leaders can be identified without presenting unsupported model figures. { July 2026 EV Sales }
Commercial EV Leaders in July 2026
- Mahindra: 11,179 electric L5 three-wheelers
- Bajaj: 9,992 electric L5 three-wheelers
- TVS: 3,455 electric L5 three-wheelers
- Tata: 1,004 electric LCVs
- Euler: 539 electric LCVs
These figures show that electric commercial mobility is currently strongest in last-mile and three-wheeler applications, while electric LCVs are gradually expanding into cargo and delivery operations.{ July 2026 EV Sales }
