Mumbai’s registered electric vehicle (EV) population has crossed 77,000, reaching 77,196 vehicles, while Maharashtra has emerged as the second-largest state in India in terms of electric vehicle numbers, with around 11.5 lakh EVs.
The figures, released around World EV Day observed on September 9, underline the expanding presence of electric mobility across Mumbai. Of the city’s total EV population, 40,086 are e-bikes and 30,137 are e-cars, with the remaining vehicles falling under other electric vehicle categories.
At the national level, Maharashtra’s EV population of around 11.5 lakh places the state second, behind Uttar Pradesh, which has around 18 lakh electric vehicles. Karnataka ranks third, with approximately 9 lakh EVs.
E-bikes form the largest share of Maharashtra’s electric vehicle fleet, with around 9.6 lakh registered across the state. The state also has more than 1 lakh e-cars, while the remaining EVs comprise other categories.
Maharashtra is continuing efforts to strengthen electric mobility, with purchase incentives and subsidies identified as important measures to support EV adoption. A reduction in battery manufacturing costs could also help lower vehicle prices and improve the accessibility of electric cars.
A transport analyst from the Mumbai Mobility Forum said that strengthening purchase incentives and subsidies, along with reducing battery manufacturing costs, could further lower vehicle prices and encourage more consumers to shift to electric cars.
Among Mumbai’s regional transport office jurisdictions, Andheri recorded the highest combined count of e-BOVs and pure EVs in the available data. The area has 11,553 e-BOVs and 8,836 pure EVs, taking the combined total to 20,389.

With around 11.5 lakh electric vehicles, Maharashtra remains second only to Uttar Pradesh nationally, while Mumbai’s registered EV population has crossed the 77,000 mark.
