In the coming 12 to 15 months, we are going to witness a flood of new electric cars that will be introduced to the Indian market. At least half a dozen all-electric cars are expected to be launched, and to be honest, it’s an exciting time for buyers of EVs.
The electric passenger vehicle segment is witnessing rapid growth in India despite having limited options in the affordable segment. If we look at the sales volume of electric vehicles in India for the month of Feb 2026, we can clearly see that a total of 20,616 units were sold in this month. Thus, more and more carmakers are getting ready to join this segment in India. Even some of the prominent carmakers have started testing their upcoming electric vehicles on the roads of India; hence, in this piece, we will talk in detail about the new electric cars spotted testing in India
