Tata to launch Punch EV, Harrier EV, Nexon EV 2023 this year, Curvv EV in 2024
- Tata Motors, which already leads the electric vehicle race in India by a big margin over other EV makers, wants 50 per cent of its vehicles to be electric soon.
Tata Motors is going to step up its EV offensive massively in coming days. The carmaker has confirmed that it will launch as many as four electric vehicles by the first quarter of 2024. Three out of these four EVs will be launched by the end of this year. The models include the facelift version of the Tata Nexon EV, the largest selling electric car in India currently. There are three brand new electric vehicle models also lined up for India launch soon.
Tata Motors has confirmed the next electric vehicles from India's largest EV manufacturer will be the Punch EV, Harrier EV and the Curvv EV. Tata Motors had showcased the Harrier EV at the Auto Expo 2023 held in Greater Noida earlier this year. It had also showcased the Curvv EV Concept and its ICE version during the event. The Punch EV, which will be based on the carmaker's smallest SUV, will also become the smallest electric SUV in India when launched.
Tata Motors confirmed its upcoming electric vehicle lineup during its 58th Annual General Meeting (AGM) on Tuesday. N Chandrasekaran, Chairman at Tata Motors, said he expects the company to have half of its vehicles to be electric soon. Tata Motors India as well as Jaguar Land Rover have got extensive plans for electric vehicles. We have launched a number of products already. And then we have Nexon's new upgraded version getting launched any time now," Chandrasekaran said.
