Tata Motors Retains Crown in Telangana, but MG Motor Closes the Gap in December 2025 EV Sales

The electric car market in Telangana ended 2025 on a high note, with fierce competition heating up the top charts. While Tata Motors maintained its leadership position, MG Motor India has emerged as a formidable challenger, capturing nearly 31% of the state's market share in December 2025.

The data also highlights the official arrival of Vietnam’s VinFast on the leaderboard, signaling the start of a new competitive era in the mass-market EV segment.

The Numbers: Telangana’s EV Car Leaderboard (Dec 2025)

The top 5 electric car manufacturers sold a combined total of 2,322 units in the state.

Market Analysis: Key Trends

1. Tata Motors: The Leader Under Pressure

Selling 905 units gives Tata Motors a commanding 39% market share, but the days of its unchecked monopoly are over. The steady numbers suggest that models like the Punch.ev and Curvv.ev remain volume drivers for Telangana's families, but competitors are eating into potential growth.

2. MG Motor’s Aggressive Surge

The biggest story of December is MG Motor, selling 714 units. With a 30.7% share, MG is no longer a distant second; they are breathing down Tata’s neck. The popularity of the Windsor EV and the updated ZS EV in Hyderabad’s IT corridor appears to be driving this massive surge.

3. Mahindra’s Solid Third Place

Mahindra remains a strong contender with 567 units (24.4%). The "Born Electric" (BE) range is likely finding traction among SUV enthusiasts who prioritize performance, keeping Mahindra comfortably ahead of new entrants.

4. VinFast Enters the Chat

Vietnam’s VinFast has made its debut on the Telangana leaderboard with 72 units. While a 3.1% share seems small, outselling luxury giant BMW in its initial phase is a significant milestone. This indicates early adopter interest in their new models.

5. BMW Rules the Luxury Segment

With 64 units, BMW continues to be the default choice for Telangana’s elite. Dominating the luxury EV space, the German automaker proves that high-net-worth individuals in Hyderabad still prefer the "Ultimate Driving Machine" when going electric.

What This Means for 2026

The gap between the top three players is narrowing. In 2026, the battle will likely shift from "range anxiety" to "price wars" and "feature loading."

• For Tata : Defending the <₹15 Lakh segment is critical.

• For VinFast : Scaling up service networks in Hyderabad will be key to moving from 72 units to 700.
