India's electric vehicle (EV) market is poised for explosive growth by 2030, fueled by soaring demand, innovative new models, and supportive government policies. Seven electric SUVs are set to hit Indian showrooms in the coming months, signifying a major shift in the automotive landscape. Let's take a closer look.
Top Upcoming Electric SUVs

- MG Cyberster (April): A stylish electric sports car, estimated at â‚ą50-60 lakh, featuring a 77kWh battery, 510bhp power, and a range of 580km. Scissor doors and advanced tech add to its appeal.
