In its recent report, Auto Punditz stated 52,415 EVs and 51,832 hybrids were sold in the first half of 2024, occupying a 2.4% PV market share. As opposed to the former, which posted a 10% growth, the latter rose by 30%. With the Punch EV's launch, Tata continued to dominate the BEV market (69% share). However, Toyota claimed an 86% share of the HEV segment with its Innova Hycross.
BEV sales saw an upward 'punch' due to the launch of the Tata Punch EV with 52,415 units sold from January to June, whereas Mahindra XUV400 dispatches had been higher than earlier before the closing of FY 2024 to comply with its internal Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency (CAFE) numbers. Notably, there was a significant drop in the demand for EVs despite multiple promotion schemes for the entire quarter.
