India’s e-mobility sector has undergone a significant transformation over the past decade. Once accounting for just 0.5% of total vehicle sales in 2018, EVs rose to 7.7% of new vehicle sales in 2024, with over 6.5 million EVs operating on Indian roads as on June 2025. This growth has been fuelled by a combination of policy incentives, private sector investment and consumer demand for cleaner and more affordable mobility. In calendar year 2024 alone, EV sales grew by 27% year-on-year to reach 2.03 million units, with 2Ws continuing to dominate the market at 59% of total EV sales1 . The growing market share reflects the increasing acceptance of e-mobility, especially in urban and peri-urban transport.
NITI Aayog has launched the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI), a first-of-its-kind tool developed to comprehensively track and benchmark the progress of States and Union Territories (UTs) in achieving their Electric Mobility goals. This report presents the rationale, approach and methodology for the India Electric Mobility Index (IEMI), a tool to support states in achieving a robust and effective e-mobility transition. The report assesses performance of the 28 states and 8 union territories in their ambition and progress in accelerating the e-mobility transition. The index will provide a comparative and ongoing evaluation of e-mobility development in Indian states, that identifies key enablers leading to effective outcomes. This will allow states to engage in peer learning and deploy policy and regulatory interventions with demonstrated impact and will also enable more private sector investments based on states’ performance and potential for future growth.
