Driving the Electric Revolution: BYD India Opens 49th Showroom in Pune

The electric vehicle wave is sweeping across Maharashtra with unmatched momentum. BYD India, a subsidiary of the world's leading New Energy Vehicle (NEV) manufacturer, has officially announced the inauguration of its 49th showroom in the country. Located in the thriving hub of Baner, Pune, this new retail outlet marks a major milestone in the brand's aggressive expansion strategy across western India.

This latest launch is not just about a new storefront; it represents a strategic push into one of the country's most dynamic automotive markets. With EV registrations in Pune surging by nearly 40 percent in the first half of 2026, the timing could not be better for local car buyers looking to transition to sustainable mobility.

A Powerful Partnership in Western India

The new facility is the sixth showroom established under the successful partnership between BYD India and Group Landmark. Speaking at the grand inauguration, industry leaders highlighted the growing importance of the region.

Mr. Rajeev Chauhan, Head of Electric Passenger Vehicle Business at BYD India, emphasized the strategic weight of the region. He noted that Maharashtra is a vital market with an established automotive ecosystem and a rapidly growing customer base eager for advanced technology-led electric mobility solutions.

Mr. Sanjay Thakker, Chairman and Founder of Group Landmark, echoed this sentiment. He pointed out that the new retail space brings the brand closer to local buyers, ensuring a seamless and responsive ownership journey supported by dedicated sales and service capabilities.

Global Recognition and Sustainability Milestones

BYD’s rapid growth in India mirrors its stellar performance on the global stage. The company ranked No. 91 on the prestigious 2026 Fortune Global 500 list, marking its fifth consecutive year in the ranking. Furthermore, its proprietary Blade Battery was recognized as the Best New EV Battery Technology at the CarBike360 Auto Excellence Awards 2026, alongside receiving the Pioneer in Battery Technology honour from Jagran Hi-Tech.

Entering the Indian market in 2007 initially focusing on commercial mobility, BYD India has since scaled its operations significantly. The company has crossed the milestone of 15,000 customers in India, supported by two local manufacturing plants covering over 140,000 square meters and an investment exceeding $200 million.

On the environmental front, BYD continues to lead by example. As of August 2026, the company’s global electric vehicle operations have collectively reduced carbon emissions by an astounding 158.3 billion kgs—an offset equivalent to the CO2 absorption of 2.63 billion trees. Through continuous technological innovation, BYD remains firmly committed to accelerating clean mobility and shaping a sustainable future.
