India's EV car exports surge 17-fold as Europe drives demand

India makes electric cars, which are cars that run on batteries instead of petrol.

In the first three months of this financial year, India sent many more of them to other countries.

The value of these exports jumped 17 times compared with the same time last year.

That means India sold $369 million worth of electric cars, instead of a small amount before.

Europe was the biggest customer for these cars.

Spain bought the most, followed by the United Kingdom.

The United Kingdom bought nearly 2,646 cars, a huge jump from just one car last year.

Germany, Norway and Denmark also bought Indian electric cars.

Because of this, all of India's car exports together grew by 15 percent.

Officials say this shows the world likes Indian-made electric cars.
