Updated front fascia
In the outgoing model, the headlamp clusters were connected by a piece of black plastic trim. The facelifted Punch EV features a revised headlamp setup, with the clusters now appearing clearly separated. The LED DRLs have been redesigned and no longer stretch across the bonnet line.
The front bumper and grille have also been updated to align with the new lighting signature, giving the SUV a more upright appearance. At the rear, the Punch EV receives connected tail lamps and revised bumper detailing. The side profile remains largely unchanged, retaining its boxy proportions, black body cladding, flared wheel arches and ORVM-mounted turn indicators, though new alloy wheel designs have been introduced.
New colour options
The Punch EV facelift is now offered with two new exterior shades, a bright yellow finish and a darker copper bronze hue. While Tata already offers yellow tones across models such as the Safari and Sierra, the Punch EV’s yellow appears as a more vibrant shade. The copper bronze option provides a subtler alternative and expands the overall palette for the electric SUV.
More range with new battery packs
The Punch EV facelift gets a new range-topping 40 kWh unit. This variant is rated for an ARAI-certified single-charge range 468 km, while C75-rated real-world range stands around 355 km.
The SUV also gets a new 30 kWh battery on the Mid Range version. This brings a real-world range that hovers between 265km and 280 km. The older 25 kWh and 35 kWh units have been discontinued.

Tata Punch EV facelift comes with multiple charging options: 1.5C fast charging, wallbox charging at 7.2 kW and a portable home charger rated for 3.3 kW. Among these, the 7.2 kW has been updated with an illuminated charging status indicator.
The 40 kWh battery supports 1.5C Fast Charging with a 65 kW DC fast charger and above, meaning the battery can be topped up from 20 per cent to 80 per cent in 26 minutes. Additionally, the user can replenish 135 km of C75-certified real-world range in just 15 minutes.
