Tata Motors has a mammoth share in the growing EV business in the country. While Nexon EV is the best-selling model across segments, its position of prominence may be challenged now by Tiago EV because of the price point at which it has been launched. “With an aim to make our EVs more accessible, with this launch, we are entering 80 new cities, expanding our network to more than 165 cities," said Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility. “With the launch of the Tiago EV, India’s first electric hatchback, the nation can take a giant leap forward in the quest for safe, clean and green mobility."
