Hybrid car sales in India fell 1.3% YoY to 8,421 units in May 2026, while #EV sales rose 81% to 26,682 units.

EVs reached a 6.6% share of passenger vehicle sales versus 2.1% for hybrids, even as the overall PV market grew 25% YoY to 404,000 units.

Commercial EVs are maturing—Tata bagged 3,400 eCV orders, including 900 e-trucks & 500 e-buses. Heavy-duty uptake is notable, as electrifying mining, steel & cement transport remains challenging due to payload & charging constraints. #EV

India-based Vimag Labs develops software-defined magnet technology

A Bengaluru startup called Vimag Labs just secured its fifth Indian patent for an electric motor that runs without any rare-earth magnets, using software and power electronics to generate its magnetic field instead.

What Vimag actually patented?

Almost every EV on the road uses a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), which relies on fixed rare-earth magnets embedded in the rotor to produce torque. Vimag’s Virtual Magnet Synchronous Motor (VMSM) does away with those magnets entirely.
Instead, it generates and controls the rotor’s magnetic field in real time using power electronics and proprietary control algorithms, while keeping a brushless, slip-ring-free design. The patent, titled “A Robust Rotating Transformer Excited Synchronous Motor and Its Control,” covers the core architecture
