Chinese automaker BYD is aiming for double-digit growth in India as it strengthens its presence in the country’s electric vehicle (EV) market. Speaking at the inauguration of its 48th dealership, Rajeev Chauhan, Head of EV Business at BYD India, said the company expects to achieve at least double-digit growth in 2026.
The company recorded sales of around 6,000 units in 2025, with the BYD Seal emerging as one of its top-performing models. Currently, BYD offers four models in India—Seal, Sealion 7, eMax 7, and Atto 3—out of which two have received local homologation, while approvals for the remaining models are in progress.
BYD is focusing on the premium segment, fleet operations, and its in-house technology to drive growth. The eMax 7, in particular, has become a key contributor in the fleet category. The company is also expanding its dealer network in line with market demand. PPS Motors has partnered with BYD to open its sixth dealership and first showroom in North India.
On the technology front, BYD is betting on its advanced Blade Battery 2.0, which it claims can deliver a range of 400–500 km with just a five-minute charge. The company is also supplying this technology to Indian automakers such as Maruti Suzuki India and Mahindra & Mahindra.
BYD believes that consumer concerns around EV range, charging time, and resale value are gradually declining. The company is also witnessing growing interest from younger buyers, who increasingly view EVs as aspirational vehicles.
