भारत की इलेक्ट्रिक पीवी खुदरा बिक्री फरवरी में 44% बढ़ी; टाटा मोटर्स आगे: FADA

नई दिल्ली: फेडरेशन ऑफ ऑटोमोबाइल डीलर्स एसोसिएशन (FADA) द्वारा शुक्रवार को जारी आंकड़ों के अनुसार, भारत में इलेक्ट्रिक यात्री वाहन (PV) की खुदरा बिक्री फरवरी 2026 में साल-दर-साल (YoY) 44 प्रतिशत बढ़कर 13,733 इकाई हो गई।

हालाँकि, महीने-दर-महीने (MoM) आधार पर, जनवरी 2026 में बेची गई 18,470 इकाइयों की तुलना में बिक्री में 25.65 प्रतिशत की गिरावट आई, जो खुदरा मांग में जनवरी के बाद की सामान्य मंदी को दर्शाता है।

खिलाड़ियों के बीच, टाटा मोटर्स ने फरवरी 2026 में 5,568 इकाइयों की बिक्री के साथ इलेक्ट्रिक पीवी रिटेल सेगमेंट में अपना दबदबा कायम रखा, जो पिछले साल के इसी महीने में 4,020 इकाइयों की तुलना में 38.51 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि दर्शाता है। हालाँकि, इसकी बिक्री जनवरी में 8,007 इकाइयों से क्रमिक रूप से 30.46 प्रतिशत घट गई।

जेएसडब्ल्यू एमजी मोटर इंडिया ने 3,312 इकाइयों की खुदरा बिक्री के साथ दूसरा स्थान बरकरार रखा, हालांकि यह आंकड़ा साल-दर-साल 5.10 प्रतिशत की गिरावट और जनवरी से 29.58 प्रतिशत की गिरावट दर्शाता है।

महिंद्रा एंड महिंद्रा ने प्रमुख खिलाड़ियों के बीच सबसे मजबूत वार्षिक वृद्धि दर्ज की, इलेक्ट्रिक पीवी खुदरा बिक्री फरवरी 2025 में 508 इकाइयों की तुलना में तेजी से बढ़कर 2,913 इकाइयों तक पहुंच गई, जो 473.43 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि में तब्दील हो गई। MoM आधार पर, जनवरी में कंपनी की बिक्री 3,668 इकाइयों से 20.58 प्रतिशत गिर गई।

एफएडीए के अध्यक्ष सीएस विग्नेश्वर ने कहा, “फरवरी'26 में ईवी खुदरा बिक्री सभी श्रेणियों में साल-दर-साल आधार पर बढ़ती रही, जबकि आईसीई वॉल्यूम में बहुत तेज वृद्धि के कारण कुल ईवी प्रवेश काफी हद तक सीमाबद्ध रहा। कुछ ईवी श्रेणियों में दिखाई देने वाली महीने-दर-महीने नरमी काफी हद तक छोटे महीने और उच्च जनवरी आधार का प्रतिबिंब है, और भारत के ईवी संक्रमण की संरचनात्मक दिशा को कमजोर नहीं करती है।”
अन्य निर्माताओं में, वियतनाम स्थित कार निर्माता विनफ़ास्ट ने फरवरी में 384 इकाइयों की खुदरा बिक्री दर्ज की, जबकि चीन की BYD ने 306 इकाइयों की सूचना दी, जो सालाना 10.07 प्रतिशत की वृद्धि और 32.47 प्रतिशत MoM वृद्धि दर्ज करती है।

किआ इंडिया ने 295 इकाइयों की बिक्री के साथ मजबूत वार्षिक वृद्धि दर्ज की, जो एक साल पहले की अवधि में 22 इकाइयों से अधिक थी।

लक्जरी ईवी सेगमेंट में, बीएमडब्ल्यू इंडिया ने 245 इकाइयां बेचीं, जबकि मर्सिडीज-बेंज इंडिया ने फरवरी में 65 इकाइयों की खुदरा बिक्री दर्ज की।

This cheap SUV will enter the market soon, starting price is only ₹ 8 lakh

This cheap SUV will enter the market soon, starting price is only ₹ 8 lakh

Maruti Suzuki Fronx Hybrid may soon enter the Indian car market. It is expected to be launched by the end of 2026 or early 2027. The new Front has been spotted testing on Indian roads several times. This will be the first small model of Maruti's in-house strong hybrid technology, which will provide the best combination of mileage and performance amid rising petrol prices.

Compared to the current front engines (1.0L Turbo or 1.2L Petrol/CNG), it will be more eco-friendly and futuristic. The price is likely to be around Rs 8 to 15 lakh (ex-showroom). That means it will be costlier by Rs 2-2.5 lakh than the petrol version. Let's take a look at its possible design, interior, features, safety, engine and mileage details.

Design and interior

The design of the Front Hybrid will be very similar to the existing model. Sharp LED headlamps, day-time running lights (DRLs) and chrome finish grille will be available at the front. On the sides, there will be dual-tone 16-inch alloy wheels, silver roof rails and faux skid plates. Connected LED taillights, roof spoiler and 'hybrid' badging will be visible in the rear. The dual-tone color option and premium finish will make it attractive for the youth. The ADS radar sensor is seen on the front grille in the spy shots.

The interior will be premium and spacious, with dual-tone theme, soft-touch materials and leatherette seats. The cabin has good headroom and leg room, making it comfortable for 5 people. There will be multi-color ambient lighting and soft touch surfaces on the dashboard. The hybrid battery pack (1.5-2 kWh) will fit under the front passenger seat, which will not affect the boot space much. Overall, the interior will feel more premium and tech-loaded than the current fronts.

Features and safety

The company will offer it with functions like ventilated front seats, sunroof, head-up display (HUD), 9-inch touchscreen infotainment system (SmartPlay Pro+), 360-degree camera, wireless charging, cruise control, push-button start, automatic climate control, Arcamis sound system, remote start, location tracking and diagnostics. At the same time, for safety, it can get 6 airbags, ABS with EBD, Electronic Stability Program (ESP), Hill Hold Assist, Traction Control, Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), ISOFIX child seat mounts ADAS.

Engine and Performance

The biggest update is in the engine. The new in-house Z12E 1.2-litre 3-cylinder petrol engine will come with a series hybrid system. Here the petrol engine will work only as a generator, which will charge the battery and the electric motor will provide power to the wheels. The battery pack will be 1.5-2 kWh. Power and torque are expected to be higher than the current 1.2L (89.73 hp, 113 Nm). Expected mileage is expected to be around 35-37.5 KMPL.

It will not be difficult for the elderly to get in and out of the car! Get it modified like this

Last Updated:

Cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar took a special step on the occasion of his son Arjun's wedding. He installed a hydraulic wheelchair lift system in his luxury SUV, so that his 80-year-old mother could get into the car without any help. After all, how does this high-tech system work and how much does it cost? Know this.

Zoom

Sachin SUV Wheelchair Lift

A video is viral on social media. It can be seen that cricket legend Sachin Tendulkar has completely customized his personal luxury SUV on the occasion of his son Arjun Tendulkar's wedding (5 March 2026). In this his mother can travel very conveniently.

It is clearly visible in the video that 80-year-old Rajni Tendulkar is easily getting in and out of the car with a wheelchair without any help. This is not an ordinary ramp or manual lift, but a fully engineered, hydraulic platform lift system. It appears to be no less than international level Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV).

Which car is it?

This car of Sachin is his high-end luxury full-size SUV. It is a bit difficult to find the brand or model number in the short video. It is clear from the visuals that this is an SUV more than 5 meters long, with a heavy-duty chassis. According to my guess, it could be Range Rover or Mercedes-Benz GLS.

The boot space and rear gate clearance of both the models is large enough to fit platforms weighing up to 350-500 kg without structural compromise. The Range Rover's air suspension and the GLS's on-demand 4MATIC system provide the perfect base for such modifications.

Technical breakdown of the system

This system is mainly based on two double-acting hydraulic cylinders, 12V DC electric pump, electronic control unit (ECU) and heavy-gauge steel platform. The dimensions of the platform would be approximately 120cm x 80cm, with a payload capacity of up to 400 kg.

The pump, which takes power from the car's battery, pushes hydraulic fluid into the cylinders at a pressure of 180-220 bar. As soon as you press the remote or dashboard button, the platform tilts down by 90 degrees and comes to ground level (0mm).

The wheelchair is secured to the platform with magnetic locks and straps. Then in reverse mode the cylinders pump the fluid back, the platform rises 40-50cm and auto locks, perfectly aligning at the floor level of the SUV. The entire cycle takes just 8-12 seconds.

This great SUV will enter the market for less than ₹ 10 lakh! Collision with vehicles like Thar and Jimny

The Renault Bridger concept will be fully unveiled on March 10, 2026, but French design house Auto Moto has already rendered it with Land Rover Defender-inspired styling. This sub-4 meter urban SUV will directly compete with Mahindra Thar (3-door) and Maruti Suzuki Jimny.

This model, being designed and developed in India, will be manufactured in the Chennai plant and can be launched by the end of 2027. The renders clearly have a boxy, tough look along with an off-road vibe, but this will primarily be a 'Mini Duster' for urban families. Let us know what can be seen in Renault Bridger.

वोल्वो ने अपने मॉडलों के इंफोटेनमेंट सिस्टम के लिए प्रमुख ओटीए अपडेट जारी किया – परिचय | ऑटोकार इंडिया

वोल्वो ने घोषणा की है कि वह 2020 की शुरुआत से निर्मित अपनी सभी मौजूदा कारों के लिए एक व्यापक ओवर-द-एयर (OTA) अपडेट ला रहा है, जिसमें नवीनतम इंटरफ़ेस नहीं है। अपडेट 'वोल्वो कार यूएक्स' लाता है, जो Google के एंड्रॉइड ऑटोमोटिव ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम (AAOS) पर आधारित है। कार निर्माता का कहना है कि यह उसका सबसे बड़ा ओटीए अपडेट है, जो ग्राहकों के लिए अधिक सहज उपयोगकर्ता अनुभव का वादा करता है।

  1. वोल्वो कार यूएक्स में नई विशेषताएं हैं जो बार-बार होने वाले स्पर्श इनपुट को कम करने में सहायता करती हैं
  2. भारत में नए और पहले बेचे गए मॉडल सहित नौ नेमप्लेट को अपडेट मिलेगा
  3. अपडेट को मुफ्त में डाउनलोड और इंस्टॉल किया जा सकता है

वोल्वो कार यूएक्स ओटीए अपडेट विवरण

होम स्क्रीन पर अब आसान पहुंच के लिए आमतौर पर उपयोग किए जाने वाले फ़ंक्शन मौजूद हैं

इनमें से एक अतिरिक्त सामग्री स्क्रीन है, जो आमतौर पर उपयोग किए जाने वाले ऐप्स और नियंत्रणों को होम स्क्रीन पर ही लाती है। उदाहरण के लिए, नेविगेशन के दौरान संगीत बदलने के लिए अब Google मानचित्र छोड़ने की आवश्यकता नहीं होगी। एक अन्य विशेषता प्रासंगिक बार है जो परिस्थितियों और हाल ही में उपयोग किए गए ऐप्स के आधार पर ड्राइवरों को जो दिखता है उसे बदल देती है। उपयोग का मामला वह बार है जो तंग स्थानों से निपटने में सहायता के लिए कम गति पर गाड़ी चलाते समय सराउंड-व्यू कैमरों के लिए एक आइकन प्रदर्शित करता है।

प्लग-इन हाइब्रिड के लिए, वोल्वो कार यूएक्स में होम स्क्रीन पर ड्राइव मोड की सुविधा है, जिसमें उपयोगकर्ता आसानी से हाइब्रिड और शुद्ध इलेक्ट्रिक पावर के बीच स्विच कर सकते हैं। वोल्वो का कहना है कि वह सभी ग्राहकों के लिए गूगल बिल्ट-इन सॉफ्टवेयर पेश करेगी, जिसे खरीदना होगा और यह पायलट असिस्ट ड्राइवर सहायता सुविधा के बिना आएगा।

वोल्वो का यह भी कहना है कि अपडेटेड कारों के इंफोटेनमेंट डिस्प्ले में एक उपयोगकर्ता के अनुकूल इंटरफेस होगा जो सबसे अधिक उपयोग किए जाने वाले कार्यों तक आसान पहुंच को सक्षम करके टच इनपुट की संख्या को कम करता है। इसके अलावा, कार निर्माता ने वास्तविक दुनिया के शोध और ग्राहक प्रतिक्रिया से सहायता प्राप्त एक ताज़ा लुक के माध्यम से मेनू में बेहतर नेविगेशन का दावा किया है।

The other side of the coin is that this scheme also comes with some additional burdens, which are important to understand. Come, let us look at these one by one-

more interest will be charged

Often, banks charge 0.5% to 2% more interest on zero down payment loans than normal loans.

Big EMI

Since you are taking the full value of the car on loan, your monthly installment (EMI) will be much higher than a normal loan.

Processing Fees and Taxes

Many times banks charge higher file charges or processing fees in the name of 'zero down payment'. Additionally, you may have to pay road tax and insurance in cash, which banks do not cover in 'Pure 100% On-Road' financing.

Smart tips to avoid hidden charges

If you have decided to choose this scheme, then keep these things in mind-

  • On-Road vs Ex-Showroom: Clarify whether the loan is available on the 'ex-showroom' price of the car or on the 'on-road' price. Try to include registration and insurance in the loan.
  • Fixed vs floating rate: Always check whether the interest rate is fixed or floating.
  • Foreclosure Charges: In future, if you want to repay the loan prematurely, how much penalty will the bank charge? Check this in the agreement beforehand.
  • Credit Score: The better your CIBIL score, the more discount you can get in interest rates.

Our advice: Zero down payment scheme is best for those who have a strong cash-flow position but have not been able to raise the lump sum while purchasing a car.
