A Times of India report shows that electric vehicles account for one‑eighth of all new four‑wheel registrations in Telangana, surpassing the growth rate of two‑wheelers.
The Times of India has reported that electric cars now represent roughly 12.5% of all new four‑wheel registrations in Telangana. This share has risen faster than the registration growth of two‑wheelers in the state, marking a notable shift in consumer preference toward cleaner mobility.
Industry analysts attribute the rise to a combination of state incentives, expanding charging infrastructure, and increasing awareness of environmental benefits. While two‑wheelers continue to dominate overall vehicle numbers, their growth rate has slowed relative to the surge in electric four‑wheel sales.
The trend aligns with the central and state governments' push for electric mobility, which includes subsidies and tax benefits for EV buyers. As more manufacturers introduce affordable electric models, the proportion of EVs in the market is expected to keep climbing.
Officials did not disclose the exact total number of registrations, but the one‑in‑eight ratio underscores the accelerating adoption of electric vehicles in Telangana's automotive landscape.
