The Maruti Suzuki is not in the mood to launch an electric vehicle any time soon, as the first EV they showcased was back in October 2023 at the auto expo, and till then, we’ve seen zero development in the Maruti EVX. Just like Honda Activa, Maruti Suzuki owns the biggest chunk of the car market in India, and if they launched an electric car in India, they might achieve the top position in the electric car market with their competitive pricing and large distribution network. At the Bharat Mobility Global Expo, Maruti Suzuki showcased various ICE and hybrid cars and highlighted the Maruit Suzuki EVX.

While details are still emerging, it’s expected to share the BE.05’s platform, potentially offering rear-wheel drive, all-wheel drive, and exciting electric performance. Unveiled in August 2022, the Rall-E is targeted for launch in October 2025. So, the wait isn’t too long if you’re eager to get behind the wheel of this electric adventurer.

MG’s two-pronged attack is widening the EV landscape in India, offering options for diverse needs and budgets. While the ZS EV competes in a well-established segment, the Comet EV has the potential to be a game-changer, accelerating the adoption of EVs in price-sensitive markets.
