Take one example. The Ashok Leyland 14T BOSS sits just ~5 km short of the Delhi–Agra corridor. That gap needs no bigger battery. Software optimization, better semiconductors, or improved heat control can close it. A 19T BOSS range increase of about ~30 km would unlock Pune–Nashik as well — nine new corridors in total, each on a single charge.

One note on scope. The Mumbai–Delhi route is India’s busiest freight artery. We exclude it here because of its distance. It needs a separate charging analysis.

Which OEMs gain most from an electric truck range increase?

IPL Tech tops our opportunity scorecard with a score of 199. A minimal change in range could add more than 500 unit sales in a year. Energy in Motion (EiM), EKA, Ashok Leyland, and QCEV follow on the leaderboard.

The key point: these gains need no bigger battery. No higher price. A small improvement in electric truck range opens new highway routes with the products these OEMs already sell.

Why electric trucks are feasible now:

ICE and electric trucks operate on different economic models. Both work — under the right conditions.

Consider a heavy-duty, long-haul fleet owner. With a diesel truck, one-way freight revenue covers fuel, tolls, and expenses. The return trip is profit. Sometimes a single trip covers the monthly EMI.

An electric truck’s EMI is higher — roughly 2.5 times that of a diesel truck. But its operating cost is far lower. The diesel money you save effectively pays the EMI. A round trip still covers the full cost. The economics close; they just close differently. We help logistics companies develop profitable electric truck business models.

The electric truck sales opportunity on 24 corridors:

India’s 24 priority corridors hold most of the commercially addressable e-truck market. Today, e-truck use is limited to specific applications, routes, and duty cycles. But picking corridors is only half the answer. The other half is matching real trucks to real routes.

So we mapped every available electric truck model and variant. We compared their ranges against corridor distances and charging-point needs. Several routes are ready now. Dhanbad–Kolkata, Paradeep–Barbil, Vijayawada–Visakhapatnam, and Ahmedabad–Mundra combine strong freight loads with manageable distances.

Ahmedabad–Mundra clearly shows the pattern. Trucks from Ashok Leyland, EKA, EiM, and IPL Tech need just one charging stop on this corridor. Blue Energy’s current models need more than one.

Small electric truck range gains, big corridor unlocks:

Our detailed report maps the exact range extension required for each variant to unlock each corridor. Two examples:

• The Ashwa 55E tractor needs about 4 km more range to unlock Coimbatore–Kochi.
• The BYD Q1R needs about 5 km more to unlock both the Ambala–Jalandhar and Coimbatore–Salem routes.

We ran this mapping for every model variant on every major route. The conclusion is consistent. Small range changes can lift an OEM’s electric truck sales by 30 to 40% in the near term.

Electric Truck Sales Forecast:

The PM E-DRIVE scheme targets 5,643 electric trucks in FY 2026. It offers ₹500 crore in demand incentives, with subsidies up to ₹9,60,000 per truck. Yet as of July 2026, only three trucks have claimed the incentive. The gap between policy and uptake is the market opportunity.

Our corridor math sizes it:

• Top 10 corridors: a market of about 600 trucks, led by high-profit routes.
• Top 24 corridors: about 2,500 trucks, with minimal new infrastructure.
• Top 50 corridors: up to 10,000 trucks by 2030 — if charging points expand and electric truck range keeps improving.

Truck type demand by corridor:

Different corridors demand different trucks and mix trucks. Delhi–Jaipur and Delhi–Chandigarh favor rigid haulage. FMCG and e-commerce drive the loads there.

What policymakers and logistics companies should do:

Start with one-stop corridors. Routes that need a single charging stop are the natural pilot projects. They are the fastest path to a proven green freight route.

Charging viability follows the trucks. Corridors already suited to electric trucks promise high charger utilization. That makes the business case for charging infrastructure companies.

Route certainty helps fleet owners. When charging stops are predictable, route planning risk drops. Confidence follows.

Pilots generate the data. Early operations will reveal real-world electric truck range by application. That data will optimize charging locations for everyone who comes next.

The market has crossed the line from “emerging” to “scalable” — and the buyers driving it are no longer early adopters in Small trucks. Single-truck owners, small operators, medium- and large fleets, and Corporate logistics are all considering electric trucks. This change is not due to policy alone, but to the TCO and payback period. However, these are the fleet owners who work on either a defined route or a 100-200 km-per-day duty cycle.

At ACG, we track this for each model, each variant, and each segment. Such market intel every OEM, supplier, fleet owner, and investor should know.

Sales of electric trucks in India doubled compared to last year due to the launch of new models, a smaller price gap between ICE and electric models, and improved product-market fit. It is expected that Electric truck sales in India will register a 49% CAGR between 2025 and 2030, as only urban transportation and fixed-route eHDT are currently suitable.

There are more than 100 applications available, and around 30% of truck applications are expected to be suitable for electric-truck operation by 2030. The Electric Truck Business case needs to be favorable for heavy-duty haulage and Tipper segments also to cover maximum Applications and large fleet owners.

The Future of Electric Trucking involves highly specialized analytics that cover OEMs, Suppliers, Fleet owners, Investors, government, and other stakeholders.

The Market Remains Small—but Growth Is Accelerating

The penetration of Electric Tractor Trailers is 0.7%, Mini Trucks 2.9%, Tipper 0.3%, and Pickup Trucks 1.5% in CY 2025. Electric Truck penetration remains very small, but it has begun to expand across various applications, and sales volume doubled in CY 2025 compared to CY 2024.

The Indian Electric Truck market size was 20.61 billion INR last year and is expected to reach 50 billion INR by 2030, driven by growing customer acceptance of Electric Trucks. Pickup and heavy-duty electric trucks are the fastest-growing segments due to their suitability for price, load, and duty cycles.

New Electric Truck Model launches:

More than 125 Electric Truck model variants are available for various Truck applications in 2026. The purpose of launching various variants is to map different applications feasible for Electric truck technology. The important point is that, rather than launching only minor-change variants, OEMs need to focus on technical specs and features that benefit fleet owners. Range is not the only criterion; trucks also consider payload, price, warranty, and ADAS features. The product must present a different value proposition for each application.  Euler sold 10 different variants of the Storm Model. Switch Mobility has a wide variety of models, including the SWITCH IeV3 and IeV4 base models. Indian Electric Pickup trucks offered a wide choice of variants and platforms in 2025. Favorable TCO and attractive payback periods have accelerated OEM investment in heavy-duty TT and Tipper electric trucks, with electric variants accounting for 35% of new model launches. Due to their long payback periods, no new Model Variants were launched for the LDT and HDT rigid haulers in 2025.

Price Position and purchase pattern:

The Electric Truck Affordable segment has a 93% market share due to minor price differences relative to ICE Truck variants in some cases, and is suitable for urban distribution transport. Euler and Mahindra’s new Electric truck models launched changed customer acceptability. Both brands have given tough competition to the Tata EV ACE PRO in this segment. Euler comes with ADAS features and Mahindra price advantages.

Propel is the market leader in the heavy-duty tipper segment with highly attractive TCO and payback period.

Tata Motors, Switch Mobility, Propel, IPL Tech, and Mahindra are the top OEMs to make revenue in 2025.

Based on variant-wise sales and price combinations, Tata Motors, Switch Mobility, Propel, IPL Tech, and Mahindra are the top 5 Revenue OEMs in India’s electric truck Industry.

Indian Electric Truck Competitor Landscape:

The Electric Truck market in India is highly dynamic compared to ICE because no single OEM dominates more than 2 segments. It shows how trucks are suitable for different customer segments.

Segment leadership varies significantly by Truck type, not just by brand name. Customers are choosing highly application-specific trucks. There is no single dominant player yet because OEMs are offering different vehicle types and target specific segments.

In the budget Electric Truck segment, Mahindra is a market leader with 48%, and Tata Motors captured 31% market share in 2025.

In the Electric Economy segment, Switch Mobility and Tata Motors are the market leaders, with market shares of 39% and 58%, respectively, in 2025.

There is no strong presence in the mid-premium and Mid-range segments.

In Premium Energy in Motion, the market leader has a 46% market share. In the Ultra Premium Electric HDT segment, Propel and IPL Tech are the leading Brands with 35% and 29%.

This fragmented competitive landscape creates opportunities for emerging and established brands to become leaders through an appropriate product strategy.

The Upgrade: What Does the Next Electric Truck Model Really Buy You?

ACG Incremental Value Analysis quantifies the additional capability obtained per additional rupee spent when upgrading from one electric truck model to another within the same segment. ACG considered all manufacturers to determine which model offers the best value for each rupee spent when changing variants; Euler Motors ranks first when customers choose to upgrade or switch to the Small Electric Truck brand, thanks to its incremental value.

Our Incremental Value Analysis showed that a few Euler model variants, a few EKA variants, and Tata Motors rank among the top 20 choices for delivering the best value to buyers.

ACG Value Diagnostic live Analytics tool:

Fleet owners make purchase decisions based on measurable benefits rather than just technical specs.  Customers are evaluating operating economy, price, resale value, finance, and payload. You can create a successful blueprint for the Electric Truck Strategy by considering multiple Dynamics of the Electric Truck Business and all key stakeholders. Our Value Diagnostic tools give you clear insight into the Electric Truck Market.

Payload Efficiency Vs Range Efficiency:

The best-selling models have more than 5 range efficiency in the Small Truck segment because range is a key criterion for most applications. The heavy-duty electric truck has different criteria and a definition because its operation differs, including the use of a tipper.

Euler Motors’ Winning Strategy:

Euler Motors’ products are highly competitive in the market. The top 10 Euler electric truck variants are highly efficient in India.  The attractive price, aggressive marketing, alignment with customer requirements, and the provision of premium features like ADAS at a minimum price make it a strong player in the Indian Electric Truck segment.

Outlook:

In 2026, the Indian Electric Truck Industry appears to be entering a transition phase. The core of the Truck business is economy and customer value, and not just technology. Now, fleet owners are starting to see customer value and long-term profits in electric trucks. The key stakeholders, such as OEMs, Fleet owners, Drivers, Logistics companies, charging infrastructure providers, and investors, see the ultimate growth potential in this technology.

Tipper Segment: Due to demand in Construction and Mining applications, tippers registered 11.7% growth.  The largest Tipper segments are 6X4 and 8X4 axle configurations with engine power above 200hp. 28 and 35T tippers dominate more than 80% of the tipper market because they work for most applications in their segment.  The 35T segment is the fastest-growing segment due to its value proposition and TCO.

MAV Segment: The MAV segment grew by 21% in FY 2026 over FY 2025. This is the fastest-growing segment in the Indian Truck Industry. The 6X2, 28T and 10X2, 48T are the largest segments in the MAV segment because both segments are highly suitable for demanding applications.

Tractor Trailer (TT):  Single-digit growth, supported by 55T demand in steel and cement applications. The Key growth has been driven by the 45.5T GVW segment.

Application is the backbone of the truck industry, and the segment is the next-most-important dimension. For OEMs and suppliers, the strategic prize is finding platforms and components that serve multiple segments and applications. This zone is the winning area for all Truck Industry Stakeholders.

MDT and LDT: the rise of the driver-owner:

Light- and medium-duty trucks saw strong demand from a structural shift: drivers becoming owners. Single-driver handling, lower toll costs, easier access to loads, and low operating costs make LDT/MDT the natural entry point to fleet ownership, especially in regional transportation.

Models like the Eicher PRO 2110 are popular among small and single-truck owners. Eicher, Mahindra, and Ashok Leyland lead this segment because their product portfolio closely matches the needs of these buyers.

Indian Truck Competitor Position:

The segmental leadership map for FY 2026 looks very different from that of FY 2020, driven by new model launches from Mahindra, BharatBenz, Ashok Leyland, and Eicher.

Example: Ashok Leyland has moved from Primary Challenger (FY 2020) to segment leader in MAV (FY 2026). Fleet owners report 5–10% savings on fuel and AdBlue — a decisive advantage in a margin-thin business. Eicher moved from Challenger to segment leader in the MDT segment. Mahindra took the market leader position in the LDT segment from a Challenger.

Tata Motors remains the market leader in most truck segments — but it is losing share. Our analysis shows Tata lost market share across 10 categories in the LDT, MDT, and HDT segments, as competitors’ new products shifted market dynamics. Tata has responded with a new Rigid Haulage range offering additional payload capacity.

Tata Motors lost market share across 10 categories of the LDT, MDT, and HDT segments.

Market Share and Growth Analytics:

Tata Motors is a market leader in most of the truck segments in India. However, it is losing market share, or competitors are gaining market share due to changes in Product and market dynamics.

Impact of Fuel Price Increases on Fleet Owner Profitability:

Truck fleet owners have seen profits decline over the past year, and the May 2026 fuel price increase has sharply increased operating costs while dampening demand for loads.

The hardest-hit segments: Tipper, Tractor Trailer, and Rigid Haulage — particularly in perishable goods transport, where mileage directly determines profit.

The consequence is already evident: with diesel operating costs rising, LNG, CNG, and electric trucks are poised for strong growth in the coming months as fleet owners seek a structural solution rather than a temporary one. Alternative drivetrains could be one solution.

The Bus application is the backbone of the Indian Bus Industry, and mapping it to models provides a complete picture. The Bus fleet operators and passengers are also key stakeholders of the Indian Bus Industry.

SnapShot: Indian Bus Market & Product Analytics

Indian Bus Market Tracker:

Monthly, Quarterly, and Annual Tracker:

Electric bus manufacturers such as JBM, Olectra, PMI, and Switch Mobility recorded strong growth in FY 2026 compared with the previous financial year. In ICE Buses, Force Motors registered the highest growth of 16% in the current financial year. Currently, tender business is the main driver of Electric Buses, but private passengers could become the key buyers in the next decade.

Tata Motors, SML Mahindra, and Mahindra also saw 1%, 12%, and 8% growth in FY 2026.

Ashok Leyland is losing its position in the heavy-duty segment due to minor product issues related to BS VI norms. Since FY 2021, it has lost 3% market share.

Buyers of Mini Buses are shifting towards Force Motors because Demand for the Urbania model is high. However, in some bus pockets, there is an oversupply of buses, such as in the Pune region.  This could affect the future demand for buses.

Bus Application-wise Analysis

Mapping with Key Models:

Urbania’s price is an average of 32 lakhs, compared to the Force Traveller’s 22 lakhs. The charges are around 35-40 INR per km for Urbania. But the name Urbania successfully won the trust of passengers, especially in the Tourist segment. The passengers are ready to pay a premium for Urbania because the Bus interior is excellent for Urbania.

Force launched a new bus called the Force Traveller Monobus with a Monocoque Structure. This bus is highly suitable for Staff application. The price of the bus is around 30 lakhs with excellent mileage of around 7 to 8km/l.

In segments of 12m or more, the washroom became compulsory for the Intercity Bus segment due to passenger demand. The trend is moving towards 13.5m buses because Bus operators have an extra 6 sleeper seats, which generates extra revenue. Volvo 9600 is the only Bus in the 15m length category.

Tata 1822 and Ashok Leyland 2513 are popular models in the 13.5m segment, delivering 15-20% higher revenue.

BharatBenz buses, models 1824 and 1017, offer superior comfort to passengers but come at a 10-12% higher price. The Eicher 6000 series offers high mileage at low prices (6-9%). Tata Motors is known for its performance, and Ashok Leyland for Durability.

Like Trucks, Eicher offers better fuel efficiency, but it comes with a 4-cylinder engine, which can be noisy. The Eicher Body is built at the Volvo Plant, resulting in a much better quality of the Bus Body.

Due to the Bus body code AIS 153, the market share of the Fully Built Bus body increased to 78%, while only 22% of Buses Were sold as chassis. The AIS 153 is applicable to around 80% of the Bus Market in India because it offers advantages for passengers (FDAS, FDSS, CCTV, etc.), such as safety, for bus fleet operators, such as lower risk and higher asset safety, and for drivers. All buses are included under AIS 153, regardless of GVW and Bus length, because student safety is the first priority.

It is expected that 50% of buses in the 7m-and-above segment will be electric by 2040 in the Indian Electric Bus Market.  The current fleet of Electric Buses in STUs is in 9 and 12m. The 12m standard floor/Low floor buses are for Intercity and city applications. 9m standard floor Electric buses for medium-density urban routes and 7m standard floor for narrow streets or low-density. There are 2 major buyer groups for Electric Buses: Private operators and STUs. Private operators are the backbone of the Indian mobility sector.

A new tender was opened in April 2026 for 3,604 electric buses across 17 states and union territories. The Government of India is also taking steps to introduce the Intelligent Transit Management System (ITMS), as it makes the process more transparent and brings several key benefits for Passengers, Authorities, and operators.

However, there is a significant gap between the open tender and bus operations for various reasons.

Snapshot of the Full Report: Indian Electric Bus Market Forecast

A large share of bus operators in India still belong to unorganized groups, and most of them work in a traditional style.

We study various aspects of why India’s Bus Operators are Finally Switching to Electric buses. According to our ACG survey, OEMs need to communicate with the market more effectively. It is not just about the Pricing of the Bus and ROI, but also about connecting the entire ecosystem, like electric buses, energy, infrastructure, and commercial benefits.  We have conducted an in-depth study of several bus fleet owners, Policymakers, Policies, OTA platforms, Passengers, and others.

Electric Bus Business Case:

Private Bus operators are expected to carry around 35 crore per day by 2030, including STU. This is a big market potential and opportunity. At least 50% of passengers expect a comfortable journey and are willing to pay for value and comfort.

The first basic condition is that it provides confidence that the bus will reach the destination either with a 50-60 min charging time or without intermediate charging. If the one-way distance is around 300km, then the electric bus fulfills the basic requirement. The second challenge is the Bus’s purchase price.  The Electric Bus Business case looks favorable, even with double the price of the ICE buses. Diesel costs are a major component of ICE bus operating expenses. Passengers enjoy traveling in electric buses because they are low-NVH, Silent, and feature-rich.

Electric Bus Price position and payback period:

One of the main hurdles to perception is the high price of the Electric Bus. The average price of the Intercity bus is around 2 crore. Compared with the ICE bus in the same segment, the Electric Bus is around 65% more expensive.

The Volvo 9600’s price is almost the same as its position. According to the ACG Business case, the payback analysis is favorable if the bus runs 700- 800 km per day.

Some prime routes where electric buses will be deployed in the next 2 to 3 years include Bangalore-Hyderabad, Bangalore-Chennai, Gandhinagar-Vadodara-Surat, Bhopal- Indore, and Bangalore-Coimbatore. Once the charging infrastructure is available, there will be a jump in the share of electric buses. Some routes, like Delhi to Manali, work by installing a charging station at an intermediate restaurant. While the Bus was being charged, the passengers could have tea and snacks. The charging must be fast, with more than 350 kW.

Electric Bus Market Forecast:

The demand for electric buses will increase when all stakeholders are satisfied or delighted. It has been observed that when passengers are happy, there is a significant increase in electric bus registrations. If Bus passengers are happy, they become more loyal customers of the Bus fleet, which leads them to become frequent travelers. The consolidated impact will be positive for Electric Bus demand.

Currently, Neugo operates electric buses on some popular routes, such as Bangalore-Chennai, with one intermediate fast-charging stop in 40 min to reach 87% battery charge. Leafy Bus is another Private Bus Fleet operator that runs electric buses between Dehradun and Delhi. With 85 to 90% occupancy, the buses’ duty cycle is around 800 to 900km in 24 hours. The Bus fleet has 12.4m JBM buses with 49 passengers.  Since the operations are successful, the company plans to increase its Electric Bus fleet to 6 times its current size.

The Bus Fleet owners have started considering electric buses for their fleets. ACG helps them transition from ICE to Electric Bus fleet ownership. More than 69% of medium- and large-fleet owners operating on the main route are interested in adding electric buses to their fleets.

There are also challenges in the overall Bus journey, as passengers willing to travel by bus face issues. This is a barrier to using buses or replacing trains with buses:

Trucks are the lifeline of the Indian economy, and transporters and drivers are its backbone. But behind the market-size numbers and technology headlines is a business of daily struggle, freight rates, risk, hard work, and hard-earned loyalty.

To understand it, we surveyed 5,000+ truck owners across every region of India — from single-truck driver-owners to large fleets — as well as drivers, transporters, and other stakeholders. The survey covers diesel, CNG, LNG, and electric trucks, and maps purchase behavior, income, expenses, duty cycles, EMIs, and profitability by truck type and application.

Here are five findings from the full report.

The application of the truck is key for OEMs, Fleet Owners, Logistics companies, and other stakeholders in the Truck Industry. This has once again been reflected in our survey.

The Indian Truck Industry is characterized by multiple market dynamics. The Indian Truck Industry Ecosystem is complex and interconnected, with each component’s performance affecting the others.  We conducted a primary survey of Indian truck owners, providing insights into opportunities and challenges for Diesel, CNG, LNG, and Electric Trucks, as well as ways to improve overall product performance.

Short version of the Full Report:

Brand loyalty is strong, but resets at segment transitions

Truck owners rarely switch brands without a reason. However, when they move into a new truck segment, brand preference often resets, creating a key window for OEMs to win customers.

• Moving from small trucks to LDT/MDT: Owners tend to choose Eicher due to higher mileage and lower toll costs.
• Moving from LDT/MDT to HDT: Owners often prefer Tata Motors and Ashok Leyland for reliability and traction.
• Within HDT, switching is mainly driven by rival performance trials, price differences, and higher payload requirements.

Strategic takeaway: Eicher and Tata Motors command the highest loyalty in MDT and HDT respectively. For other OEMs, the biggest opportunity lies at the segment-transition point, when customers are most open to switching.

The perception gap: strong products, weaker brand pull

The survey highlights a gap between product quality and buyer perception for some OEMs. Even when products meet operating needs, many customers continue to favor incumbent brands because of loyalty, familiarity, or past experience.

Brand perception challenges:

• BharatBenz (DICV): Fits Indian operating requirements well, but many buyers remain loyal to incumbent brands.
• Mahindra Furio: Receives excellent market feedback and gives Mahindra real potential in HDT, but the brand must reshape the perception of trucks as successfully as it did with SUVs.

Each brand owns a distinct value proposition in owners’ minds

• BharatBenz and Mahindra: Cabin space and driver comfort
• Tata: Tough-terrain performance, service network, and resale value
• Eicher: Mileage and low driver fatigue
• Propel electric tippers: Battery performance and after-sales support

This survey fulfills the purpose for the Electric and ICE truck segments.

We have interacted with 5000 Truck owners covering every corner of India to understand the geography’s impact on truck type suitability, including

• Single Driver owners
• Small Truck Owners
• Medium Truck owners, and
• Large truck owners

Purchase behavior, income, expenses, Duty cycle, EMI, Revenue, profit, and other factors depend on the type of Truck and its applications.

Truck Payload Utilization Pattern Analysis:

Over time, truck fleet owners have changed their mindset from profit-only overload to profit+ Truck life with rated or under-load in the Rigid Haulage and Tractor Trailer segments. The Tipper practice differs with application and locations. Owners now see measurable benefits — better mileage, longer tyre life, and no RTO penalties. (Tipper practice still varies by application and location.)

The Electric Truck application suits this scenario, but it applies only to a specific payload category.

Indian Truck Replacement Cycle:

There are many factors that impact the Truck demand analytics. If the truck utilization is low and demand is high, there are fewer chances to increase truck sales.

Many truck owners decide to sell their trucks after 5 years of repaying the truck loan to avoid the high maintenance cost and buy a new truck at a good price.

The biggest untapped profit lever isn’t the truck — it’s the load:

Most owners still rely on transporters and agents for freight, paying 5–7% commission per load. This is the most common practice in the road transport business. Successful digital freight platforms could raise fleet owner revenue by 30–40% through:

• Higher vehicle utilization
• Shorter waiting periods
• Better freight rates

For OEMs, financiers, and logistics-tech players, this is the largest value pool identified in the survey.

If the Digital platform works successfully, the Fleet owners’ revenue is expected to increase by 30 to 40% because truck utilization, reduced waiting period,  and freight rates could also increase.

Sales Enquiry Response:

Faster response from the Eicher Team significantly influences the lead conversion rate. It also indicates how important customers are to the company.

MRF, Apollo, and JK Tyre are the preferred tyre brands among fleet owners due to their value propositions across various applications. However, Truck owners are open to considering other tire brands also under specific circumstances.
