India is one of the fastest-growing EV markets in the world with 48+ electric car models available from 21+ global brands in 2026. From affordable city EVs starting around ₹7 lakh to premium electric SUVs above ₹1 crore, EV Cars in India is your comprehensive guide to all electric car prices in India, specifications, range, features and charging infrastructure. The country has 12,000+ public charging stations operated by Tata Power, ChargeZone, Statiq, Ather Grid and Jio-bp, and EV running costs of ₹1,000–2,000 per month make them dramatically cheaper than the ₹6,000–8,000 a petrol equivalent burns.
EV taxes and incentives in India (2026): electric cars attract just 5% GST (petrol and diesel cars pay 28% plus cess), and most states waive or sharply discount road tax and registration fees for EVs. The PM E-DRIVE scheme (successor to FAME-II) subsidises electric two-wheelers and commercial EVs, while Section 80EEB allows an income-tax deduction of up to ₹1.5 lakh on EV-loan interest. Imported EVs still carry high customs duties, which is why locally built models from Tata, Mahindra and MG dominate the price list.
Top electric car brands in India include Tata (Nexon EV, Punch EV, Curvv EV, Tiago EV, Harrier EV), Mahindra (BE 6, XEV 9e, XUV400), MG (ZS EV, Windsor, Comet), Hyundai (Creta Electric, IONIQ 5, Kona), BYD (Atto 3, Seal, Sealion 7), Kia (EV6, EV9, Carens Clavis EV), Tesla (Model Y), and newer entrants like VinFast and Citroen. The cheapest electric cars in India start around ₹7 lakh (MG Comet EV, Tata Tiago EV), while the most popular SUVs are the Tata Nexon EV and Mahindra BE 6. India's 5% GST and road-tax waivers make electric cars significantly more affordable to own than ICE vehicles of similar size.
