As a testament to its aggressive play into the electric vehicle market, Tata Motors, which is the foremost EV player in India, has set a never before target of 30% of total sales coming from electric vehicles by 2030. Quite contrary to prevailing sector estimates of moderate EV adoption and leaving competitors far behind as the market is set for exponential growth.
Ground Breaking Vision by Tata Motors for EV’s
Vivek Srivatsa, Tata Motors’ Chief Commercial Officer, made a bold statement during the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025. He said that, they have a robust pipeline of EVs across segments, and settling for anything below 30% contribution from EVs by 2030 is simply unacceptable.
It underpins Tata’s optimism as their competitors like Hyundai, Maruti Suzuki, and Kia Intensify their own EV plans in order to contend with its supremacy.
Market Leader, But Competition Heats Up

Tata Motors enjoys a lion’s share of 62% of India’s EV market, selling 61496 electric cars in 2024–a mere 2% increase over 2023. However, the first cracks in its market dominance appeared in December 2024 when MG Motor sold 7516 units of the Windsor EV, surpassing Tata’s sales.
This marked the start of an aggressive competitive environment. The competition is set to increase with the opening of bookings for Hyundai’s Creta Electric, the launch of Maruti Suzuki’s e-Vitara with a sales target of FY26, and Kia’s plans to introduce 2 budget EVs by 2026.
Having gained 1500 dealerships in 1000 cities, Maruti intends to leverage its unrivaled network and scale up the e-Vitara to the number one position.
Tata’s Counter Strike – Flooding the Market
Tata Motors stays unfazed and is determined to expand on their collection of EVs. As of now, the automaker has five EVs – Curvv.ev, Nexon.ev, Punch.ev, Tigor.ev and Tiago.ev, while by 2028 they are planning to launch five premium EVs of their Avinya lineup that consist of SUVs, sedans, and crossovers.
The new Sierra ICE concept that was recently put on display at the Expo will soon have an electric version. The Avinya collection will be priced higher, targeting customers who are more focused on technology and fashionable aesthetics.
The 2030 EV Battlefield is Here!
Even though various industry analysts predict electric vehicles to make up twenty percent of vehicle sales in India by 2030, Tata’s aim of thirty percent is very much aggressive.
Success depends on many factors, such as overcoming supply chain limitations, competition driven pricing war as well as consumer anxiety over range. Not to mention the upcoming challenges posed by rivals like Hyundai with their Creta Electric set to launch by March 2025 and Maruti’s e-Vitara.
Why Tata Could Win?
Tata’s first-mover advantage, brand loyalty, and sprawling charging infrastructure partnerships (including Tata Power) give it an edge. Moreover, its aggressive R&D push into localized battery production and software-defined vehicles aligns with India’s ‘Atmanirbhar’ vision.
The Road Ahead
As the EV race accelerates, Tata Motors isn’t just fighting for market share, it’s battling to shape India’s electric future. Tata has the roadmap, but execution will be everything.
For now, the message from Mumbai is clear: Tata Motors is charging full speed ahead, and it won’t let rivals steal its spark.
Stay tuned for live updates on the EV revolution. The race to 2030 starts now!
