The affordable electric Vehicles car market in India is gearing up for massive growth in the next few years. Every major automakerโfrom Maruti Suzuki and Mahindra to Tata Motors, Kia, Hyundai, and Hondaโis preparing fresh battery-powered models tailored for Indian roads. Hereโs a clear, straightforward rundown of whatโs coming from each brand.
1. Maruti Suzuki
Maruti Suzukiโs very first electric car, named e Vitara, will hit showrooms in December 2025. The vehicle made its debut at the 2025 Auto Expo, and assembly has already started at the companyโs plant in Gujarat. Buyers will get two battery choices: 49 kWh and 61 kWh, delivering a real-world driving range close to 500 km on a full charge.
2. Mahindra
Mahindra is bringing Indiaโs first mass-market 7-seater electric SUV in 2026. Called the XEV 7e, it rides on the INGLO platform and uses the same 59 kWh and 79 kWh batteries found in the BE 6 and XEV 9e. Inside, youโll see the same triple-screen dashboard layout as the XEV 9e.
Also slated for 2026 is the BE Rall-E, a tough off-road take on the BE 6. It gets rugged bumpers, all-terrain tyres, and most likely all-wheel drive powered by dual electric motors.
3. Hyundai
Hyundai plans a compact electric SUV built specifically for India in 2027. The model draws inspiration from the global Inster EV and sits on the E-GMP (K) platform. It will compete directly with the Tata Punch and come packed with Level 2 ADAS, over-the-air software updates, and other modern tech.
Two additional affordable EVs are under consideration: electric versions of the Grand i10 Nios and Venue, aimed at rivals like the Tata Tiago EV and Nexon EV.
4. Kia
Kiaโs Syros EV is expected to launch in early 2026. Spy shots appeared on Indian roads in August 2025, and the company has officially confirmed the project. This will be Kiaโs second volume-selling electric model after the Carens Clavis EV.
Visually, changes will be minorโnew alloy wheels and EV badges. Two battery sizes are planned, offering a top range of roughly 400 km per charge.
5. Tata Motors
Tata currently dominates Indiaโs EV sales chart. The Sierra EV is the next model in line, scheduled for a January 2026 debut. It may borrow battery packs from the Harrier EV, though exact details remain under wraps.
Looking further ahead, the Avinya sub-brand arrives in 2027 on a dedicated Gen 3 electric skateboard platform. Up to five distinct models are planned, including the coupe-style Avinya X concept displayed at the 2025 Auto Expo.

6. Honda
Honda unveiled its 0 Series SUV at the Japan Mobility Show 2025, confirming an Indian launch in 2026 through the fully imported (CBU) route. Positioned as a premium offering, it will carry a large battery between 80 kWh and 100 kWh.
A more accessible 0 Alpha variantโbased on the concept shown at the same eventโwill follow in 2027 with local manufacturing. It targets the segment occupied by the Maruti e Vitara, Hyundai Creta Electric, and Mahindra BE 6, using a 65โ75 kWh battery pack.
