BMW Hits 5,000 EV Sales, Launches 4,000km Charging Corridor

BMW Group India has achieved a remarkable milestone in the country’s luxury car market by becoming the first premium automaker to cross 5,000 electric vehicle deliveries. To commemorate this achievement, the company has launched a 4,000km high-power charging corridor that connects Jammu to Madurai, enhancing long-distance travel convenience for EV owners across India.

This milestone not only highlights BMW’s growing dominance in India’s luxury EV space but also underlines its commitment to sustainability and future-ready mobility solutions.

BMW: First Luxury Carmaker to Cross 5,000 EV Deliveries

BMW has consistently led the Indian luxury EV market and now becomes the first brand in the segment to deliver over 5,000 EVs. The achievement reflects the company’s strong sales momentum, growing EV adoption among premium customers, and its expanding electric portfolio in the country.

In the first half of 2025 alone, BMW and MINI sold 1,322 electric vehicles, marking a 234% year-on-year growth. EVs now account for 18% of BMW Group India’s total sales, with the BMW iX1 Long Wheelbase leading the pack, followed by the flagship BMW i7.

Launch of India’s First 4,000km High-Power Charging Corridor

To celebrate this milestone, BMW Group India has unveiled a 4,000km charging corridor that runs across the length of India, stretching from Jammu in the north to Madurai in the south.

• Charging stations are strategically placed every 300km along national highways and in major cities including Delhi, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Mumbai, Pune, Bengaluru, Coimbatore, and Madurai.

• The chargers range from 120kW to 720kW capacity, ensuring compatibility with different EVs and enabling fast charging on long trips.

• The corridor has been developed in partnership with Statiq and Zeon, two leading EV charging solution providers.

Importantly, the corridor is open to all EV owners in India, not just BMW customers, making it a significant contribution to the country’s charging infrastructure.

Enhancing Customer Convenience and Digital Integration

BMW has gone a step further by ensuring that the charging experience is seamless and convenient for customers:

• Chargers are located near cafes, restaurants, and public spaces to enhance comfort while vehicles charge.

• BMW’s digital ecosystem provides live updates on charger status, route planning, filtering options by charging capacity, and nearby amenities.

• Customers can also use the BMW Charging Concierge, an industry-first service offering on-call journey planning and unified payment access across partner charging stations.

This integrated approach ensures that EV customers enjoy “Sheer Driving Pleasure” without range anxiety, as BMW describes it.

BMW’s Comprehensive Charging Ecosystem in India

The new corridor strengthens BMW’s already robust EV ecosystem in India:

• Nearly 300 BMW Destination Chargers are installed at premium hotels, resorts, and malls.

• Over 6,000 public charging points are available nationwide through BMW’s strategic partnerships.

• Combined, this makes BMW one of the most accessible luxury EV brands in India in terms of charging infrastructure.

By providing both private and public charging access, BMW ensures that its EV customers are well-supported whether they’re driving within the city or on intercity highways.

BMW’s Expanding Luxury EV Portfolio

BMW currently offers the widest luxury EV portfolio in India, catering to diverse segments:

• Luxury Sedans and SUVs: BMW i7, iX, i5, i4, and iX1 Long Wheelbase

• Premium Small Car: MINI Countryman E

• Electric Scooters: BMW CE 04 and BMW CE 02

With this line-up, BMW has retained its title as India’s best-selling luxury EV brand for three consecutive years, a testament to its strong market leadership.

Leadership Remarks

Commenting on the milestone, Vikram Pawah, President and CEO of BMW Group India, said:

“BMW Group India is immensely proud to become the first luxury carmaker to cross the remarkable milestone of 5,000 electric vehicle deliveries. This achievement is not just a number, it represents our unwavering commitment to e-mobility and pioneering spirit in the premium EV landscape.”

He further added that BMW will continue offering luxury, performance, and sustainability seamlessly, while supporting customers with innovative products and services.

Conclusion

BMW’s achievement of crossing 5,000 EV deliveries and launching a 4,000km charging corridor cements its position as a pioneer in India’s luxury EV segment. By combining strong sales, a wide EV line-up, robust infrastructure, and digital innovation, BMW is shaping the future of sustainable premium mobility in the country.

As EV adoption grows, BMW’s continued investments in infrastructure and product innovation are likely to keep it at the forefront of India’s luxury EV revolution.
