India’s electric car market is going through major changes right now, with a surprising shift in which companies are selling the most. According to AutoCarPro, Tata Motors, once the clear leader, is losing ground while JSW MG Motor is gaining strength quickly.
The numbers tell a clear story: Tata Motors’ electric vehicle (EV) sales dropped by 13% from 73,833 cars in Financial Year 2024 (FY24) to 64,276 in FY25. At the same time, JSW MG Motor has seen amazing growth with a 251% increase in their EV sales.
Monthly sales show this trend clearly. Tata Motors used to sell 6,000-6,500 electric cars each month in FY24, but that number has fallen to 5,000-5,500 in FY25. Meanwhile, JSW MG Motor’s share of EV sales compared to their total car sales jumped dramatically from just 35% to 85% between August 2024 and March 2025.
Why This Change is Happening
One big reason for this shift is that the government’s FAME II subsidy (which gave money back to EV buyers) ended in March 2024. Many states also reduced their own special offers for people buying electric cars.
The different approaches these companies take is also playing a role. Tata Motors has been trying to sell many types of cars (petrol, diesel, and electric) all at once. JSW MG Motor has focused more on electric vehicles, even launching a new model called the MG Windsor EV.
Market Share Numbers Tell the Story
According to RushLane, Tata Motors’ market share (the percentage of all EVs sold) has fallen sharply from 70.52% in FY24 to just 53.52% in FY25. By March 2025, it dropped even further to 38.10%.
JSW MG Motor has moved in the opposite direction, with their market share rising impressively from 12.77% in FY24 to 28.02% in FY25. By March 2025, they reached 31.47%, getting very close to Tata’s position.
Mahindra & Mahindra is also becoming important in this race, increasing their share from 7.07% to 15.73% between March 2024 and March 2025.

What Might Happen Next
If these trends continue, JSW MG Motor could overtake Tata Motors as India’s top EV seller within the next 6-12 months. This would be a huge change in a market that Tata has led for years.
For you as a buyer, this competition is actually good news. It likely means more choices, better features, and possibly better prices as companies fight for your business.

Tata Motors will need to rethink its approach if it wants to stay on top. The company might need to focus more on its electric vehicles rather than spreading attention across all types of cars.
India’s electric car market is changing fast, giving you more options than ever before. As JSW MG Motor challenges Tata’s leadership and Mahindra increases its presence, the next year will be crucial in determining which company leads India’s electric future.
