With the government’s goal of going fully electric by 2030, several brands have emerged in India’s electric vehicle segment. Their goal is to make EVs more affordable, reliable, and ideal replacements for ICE. TATA Motors and Mahindra, both household names in the country, are among these EV brands, as are newcomers such as Ather Energy and Okinawa. More brands, including Maruti Suzuki, Yamaha, and Honda, are expected to join the bandwagon in the near future.
Following is the top electric car manufacturers in India:

It intends to do so in collaboration with its sister brand, Kia Motors, by pooling resources and targeting different types of market audiences.
