Clean energy vehicles surpass petrol and diesel car sales in India for the first time
In August 2026, the combined sales of electric, hybrid, and CNG vehicles hit 42% of the Indian passenger car market, marking the first time they have outperformed petrol models. CNG vehicles achieved a record-breaking 25% market share, while electric vehicle sales saw a significant boost and hybrids maintained steady growth. As petrol car sales dipped to 41%, the Indian automotive industry is clearly shifting toward a more varied and eco-friendly fuel landscape.
