BYD sold almost equal numbers of fully electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids during the year, with pure EV sales touching 2.26 million units. International deliveries climbed to 1.05 million units in 2025, surpassing the upper end of the company’s guidance and helping offset softer demand in China. The US car maker’s performance was weighed down by production disruptions as it retooled assembly lines for the updated Model Y. In 2024, Tesla had narrowly edged past BYD with 1.78 million deliveries against BYD’s pure EV sales of 1.76 million. Tesla, which has also forayed into the Indian market, offers its Model Y at a price range of ₹59.89-67.89 lakh.
