Last month, electric vehicles accounted for one in every six new car registrations in Karnataka, with Bengaluru driving the state's shift towards cleaner mobility.
Last month, electric vehicles (EVs) made up one in every six new vehicle registrations in Karnataka, according to data reported by The Times of India.
The surge in EV registrations is largely attributed to Bengaluru, which has emerged as the state's leading hub for electric mobility. The city’s growing network of charging infrastructure and a rising consumer interest in greener options have boosted EV sales.
The statistic highlights Karnataka’s progress in the national push for electric vehicles, reflecting both consumer acceptance and the effectiveness of state‑level incentives that encourage EV adoption.
Industry observers note that this trend could accelerate further as more cities in Karnataka expand their charging networks and the state continues to promote electric mobility through policy measures.
