Introduction: India’s Ultra-Rich Are Switching to Electric
In 2025, India’s luxury car market is changing fast. The country’s richest people—business tycoons, Bollywood stars, and tech billionaires—are no longer just buying big petrol cars like Rolls-Royce and Lamborghini. Instead, they are choosing electric hypercars and luxury EVs that are faster, smarter, and more exclusive.
Why? Because:
✅ Electric cars are now faster than petrol supercars (0-100 km/h in under 2 seconds!)
✅ Electricity is cheaper than petrol (₹110+ per litre vs ₹8-10 per km for EVs)
✅ Government benefits (Lower taxes, no driving bans, free charging in cities)
✅ Status symbol (Owning a ₹10 Crore EV is the new flex)
