1. Tata Motors crossed 100,000 annual electric-car retail sales for the first time in 2026, recording 122,073 units as of November 12, according to Vahan data.

2. Tata’s EV retail sales rose from 64,121 units in 2024 to 76,642 units in 2025, before increasing by around 59% year-on-year in 2026.

Tata Motors has achieved a major milestone in India’s electric-car market by crossing one lakh annual electric-car sales for the first time. According to Vahan retail-sales data, the company sold 1,22,073 electric cars as of November 12, 2026. This makes 2026 the strongest year yet for Tata’s electric-vehicle business.

Tata’s EV sales have grown consistently over the past three years. The company sold 64,121 electric cars in 2024, followed by 76,642 units in 2025. With 1,22,073 units already sold in 2026, Tata has recorded an increase of 45,431 cars over last year, representing growth of around 59%. Compared with 2024, its electric-car sales have nearly doubled.

This performance has been supported by Tata’s expanding electric-vehicle portfolio. The company sells EVs across multiple segments, including models such as the Tiago EV, Tigor EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, Curvv EV, Harrier EV and Sierra EV. These products allow Tata to cater to customers looking for everything from an affordable urban electric car to a larger electric SUV.

Tata’s compact SUVs have been especially important to its sales performance. The Punch EV and Nexon EV target the high-volume SUV market, while the Tiago EV provides a more accessible entry point for buyers considering their first electric car. At the same time, newer products such as the Curvv EV, Harrier EV and Sierra EV have helped Tata expand into more premium and lifestyle-focused segments.

Tata has continued to lead India’s electric passenger-vehicle market despite growing competition. In October 2026, the company recorded 14,546 electric-car registrations, as per Vahan retail data.

The electric-car market is becoming increasingly competitive, with manufacturers such as Mahindra, JSW MG Motor, Hyundai, VinFast, Maruti Suzuki and BYD expanding their presence. Mahindra has gained attention with its new electric SUVs, while MG, Hyundai and other brands are offering more choices in the mid-size and premium segments. However, Tata’s early start, broad model range, established dealer network and growing charging ecosystem have helped it retain a clear lead.

The milestone also reflects changing preferences among Indian car buyers. Rising fuel costs, lower running expenses and greater awareness of cleaner transportation are encouraging more customers to consider electric vehicles. Improvements in charging infrastructure, better battery technology and longer driving ranges are also making EV ownership more practical than before.

Crossing the one-lakh mark before the end of 2026 is an important achievement for Tata Motors. With several models across different price and body-style segments, the company is better positioned to serve a wider range of buyers. If Tata continues to introduce new EVs, improve charging convenience and strengthen after-sales support, it is likely to remain one of the most important players in India’s electric-car market in the coming years.
