BMW India EV sales surge to 21 per cent in 2025, targets 30 per cent by 2030

New Delhi: BMW India, a leading luxury automaker, is forecasting a massive uptick in electric vehicle (EV) sales, projecting that EVs will account for nearly 30% of its total sales before 2030, surpassing the green mobility mandates set by the government and reshaping India’s luxury car landscape. EVs already make up 21 per cent of BMW’s overall car sales for 2025, a figure achieved after a staggering 246 per cent year-on-year growth in deliveries from January to September, driven by best-selling models like the BMW iX1 and BMW i7.

Between January and September 2025, BMW Group India delivered 2,509 electric BMWs and MINIs, taking the brand’s total EV deliveries past 5,000 since its 2022 debut. The entry-level BMW iX1, recognised for its affordability and urban appeal, led as the highest-selling electric model, while the flagship i7 captured the premium segment. Roughly half of iX1’s buyers were first-time luxury car owners, highlighting the accelerating interest in premium electric vehicles among new consumers.

To support this explosive growth, BMW India is expanding across Tier 2 and 3 cities, making EV ownership more accessible through financial initiatives and enhanced infrastructure, including launching a 4,000-km high-power charging corridor spanning from Jammu to Madurai. The brand offers access to over 6,000 charging points nationwide and digital concierge services, promoting seamless e-mobility for customers.

BMW’s electric portfolio features six car models, including the BMW i4, iX, i7, iX1, and MINI electric vehicles, alongside two electric scooters. The recently introduced MINI John Cooper Works Countryman All4, priced at ₹64.9 lakh, further boosts BMW’s luxury EV offerings and appeals to performance enthusiasts.

In Q3 2025, BMW India recorded its best-ever quarterly car sales, hitting 4,204 units, a 21 per cent increase over the previous year, and reaching a total of 11,978 cars in the first nine months, marking a 13 per cent annual jump. Industry experts predict the luxury car segment could reach 100,000 units per year in India much sooner if the double-digit growth trend continues.
