Build Your Dreams, BYD for short could be planning to introduce three more electric vehicles for the Indian market.

According to media reports, BYD plans to serve more than 85% of the Indian electric vehicle market.

Reports also reveal that the brand plans to become the world’s largest EV carmaker in the world by 2030.
BYD Model that Could Come to India in the Near Future
Currently, BYD has the BYD e6 MPV, BYD Atto 3 5-seater EV and BYD Seal a luxury electric sedan. In addition to this, the brand plans to bring the BYD Seal U which is a PHEV or e-SUV, BYD Tang electric SUV, BYD Sea Lion SUV or the BYD Dolphin EV.
BYD Planning Localisation?
