Electric car registrations outpaced electric two-wheelers across Telangana during the 2025-26 financial year, with electric cars accounting for 12.5 percent of all new passenger car sales in the state, according to a month-wise analysis released by the state transport department in Hyderabad.

In total, 18,853 electric cars were registered across the state during the financial year out of approximately 1.50 lakh total new car registrations. This meant that nearly one in every eight new four-wheelers sold in Telangana was battery powered.
