While registrations are down compared to June 2026, BMW’s position in the premium EV segment remains strong, comfortably positioned as the market leader.
Mercedes-Benz Maintains Second Position

While registrations declined on a month-on-month basis, the annual growth indicates that the popularity of Mercedes’ electric models is steadily increasing among Indian buyers.
Tesla Becomes the Biggest Surprise of July
If anyone could be called the biggest winner in India Luxury Electric Car Sales in July 2026, it would be Tesla. The company recorded 115 luxury EV registrations in July, compared to just 38 units in June.
This means Tesla achieved 202.6% month-on-month growth in just one month, directly becoming the third-largest brand in the luxury EV market.

Volvo Registers Steady Growth While Porsche Slips
Volvo registered 49 electric vehicles in July 2026. The company recorded positive growth on both a year-on-year and month-on-month basis. Although overall market share declined compared to the previous year, Volvo maintained its presence.
On the other hand, July wasn’t particularly good for Porsche. The company was limited to just six registrations, further reducing its market share.
Audi and Lotus Fail to Register Any EV
Audi and Lotus’s accounts for July 2026 luxury EV registrations were completely empty. Both brands failed to register a single electric vehicle.
This data shows that competition in the premium EV segment is rapidly increasing and simply having an established luxury badge is not enough.
Luxury EV Competition Is Getting Stronger
The latest registrations make it clear that the Indian luxury electric vehicle market is no longer limited to BMW and Mercedes-Benz.
Tesla’s rapid growth and the introduction of new premium EV models have made competition more aggressive than before.
BMW and Mercedes-Benz together still control 75.8% of the segment’s registrations, but Tesla’s rapid expansion could change market dynamics in the coming months.
