Into Tata Motors Plans To Remain India's Electric Car King
Tata Motors is currently sitting on top when it comes to electric vehicle segment sales. Its multiple hit products, namely the Nexon.ev, Tiago.ev, and Punch.ev, have helped it in maintaining the lead. Well, to make sure that it does not lose its title, the company is gearing up for the launch of 4 new EVs in India. Here are the details of all of these EVs from Tata Motors, which will be launched very soon.
Just like the recently launched Tiago.ev, Tata Motors, in the coming months, will soon launch the Tigor.ev facelift. This updated electric sedan is expected to make its debut in the second half of 2026. It will most likely be getting a number of updates. On the outside, the Tigor.ev facelift is expected to get slimmer LED DRLs, revised bumpers, and a refreshed front fascia.
Meanwhile, on the inside, its major upgrades will include a new 10.25-inch touchscreen infotainment system, which will support wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. It will also get a digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, rear AC vents, and a new two-spoke steering wheel with an illuminated Tata.ev logo.
Tata is also expected to add six airbags, ESP, a 360-degree camera, and a blind-view monitor. Mechanically, it will continue with the existing 26 kWh battery pack, and its electric motor will make 75 PS and 170 Nm of torque, and it will offer a claimed range of 315 km.
One of the biggest additions could be Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS), which will significantly reduce the upfront purchase cost and make it particularly attractive for fleet operators and cab buyers. Prices are expected to start from around Rs 13 lakh.
The Tata Sierra has already become a big hit in India, and now the company will offer it with an electric powertrain as well. The upcoming Sierra.ev will become a big volume seller for the brand. The Sierra.ev is expected to launch between July and September. Once launched, the Sierra.ev will slot between the Curvv.ev and Harrier.ev.
As for its direct rivals, it will take on the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, MG ZS EV, Toyota Ebella, and Maruti Suzuki e Vitara. It will be based on Tata's new acti.ev+ architecture and will be offered in both rear-wheel-drive and all-wheel-drive configurations.
Reports have suggested that Tata could offer the Sierra.ev with 55 kWh and 65 kWh battery pack options. The larger battery pack will deliver around 500 km of claimed range. Its lower variants are expected to offer a single-motor setup, and the higher trims could feature dual motors and AWD technology.
Feature highlights are expected to include a triple-screen dashboard, panoramic sunroof, ventilated seats, a premium audio system, connected car technology, and ADAS. Meanwhile, the pricing will most likely be in the range of Rs 15 lakh and Rs 25 lakh.
Later this year, around the festive season, Tata Motors will launch the all-new Safari.ev. This SUV will become Tata's first three-row electric SUV, and it will take on the Mahindra XEV 9S, which is currently the most popular 7-seater EV SUV in the market. The Safari.ev will share its platform and powertrain technology with the Harrier.ev and will be based on the acti.ev+ architecture.
As for the battery options, it is expected to include 65 kWh and 75 kWh packs. There are also some reports which suggest a larger 80 kWh battery could be offered as well. The claimed driving range could be between 550 km and 600 km. Its standard variants are expected to feature rear-wheel drive. Meanwhile, higher variants could get dual-motor AWD technology.
Apart from the larger size and seven-seat layout, the Safari.ev will feature Tata's advanced TiDAL architecture. This will help it in offering features such as OTA updates, a 540-degree camera, summon mode, auto park assist, improved ADAS functionality, and even UPI-based in-car payment systems. Pricing of the Safari.ev will be around Rs 22.5 lakh to Rs 30 lakh.
The last EV which Tata Motors has planned to launch this year will be the Avinya X. This futuristic SUV will be sold under Tata's new Avinya premium EV sub-brand. It is expected to be one of the most technologically advanced vehicles ever produced by the company.
The Avinya X will feature a completely different design language. This SUV will boast coupe-SUV styling, futuristic T-shaped LED headlamps and taillamps, and a sleek modern appearance. On the inside, Tata is expected to offer a minimalist luxury cabin inspired by premium SUVs such as the Range Rover.
As for the features, it could include large touchscreens, Level 2+ ADAS, ventilated and massaging seats, a panoramic sunroof, a powered tailgate, and a 360-degree camera. The SUV will be based on Tata's all-new EMA platform and is expected to offer up to 500 km of range. Ultra-fast charging technology will help it charge in under 30 minutes. Its pricing is expected to be between Rs 30 lakh and Rs 40 lakh.
Although the new products are important, Tata Motors' biggest advantage will come from battery manufacturing. Tata Group's battery company, Agratas, is setting up a massive 20 GWh battery cell manufacturing facility in Sanand, Gujarat. The plant is expected to commence production in FY27. It will manufacture advanced battery cells for electric vehicles and energy storage systems.
The facility will be spread across 320 acres, and it is one of the largest battery manufacturing investments in India. Agratas has already raised more than $730 million in funding, and total capital support has now reached close to $900 million. Apart from the Gujarat facility, Agratas is also building a 40 GWh battery factory in Somerset, UK.
When combined, both plants will have an annual production capacity of 60 GWh, enough to support around one million EVs per year. The biggest benefit for Tata Motors will be lower battery costs. We all know that an EV's battery pack is the most important and expensive part.
So, Tata Motors' new plant, which will manufacture batteries locally, will help in reducing import dependence, lowering logistics costs, improving supply chain security, and increasing localisation. This will help Tata Motors price its future EVs more competitively while maintaining profit margins.
