Tata Punch EV Facelift Launches With Bigger Batteries, Faster Charging and ₹6.49 Lakh BaaS Entry

Deliveries begin by month-end to kick off a broader push for mass-market EV adoption.

Overview

  • Official prices span ₹9.69–₹12.59 lakh ex-showroom, with a Battery-as-a-Service entry at ₹6.49 lakh plus a ₹2.6/km usage fee, a dual-loan option, and a 15-year battery guarantee for the larger pack.
  • Two LFP battery choices—30 kWh and 40 kWh—deliver ARAI-claimed ranges up to 468 km, with reported real-world estimates reaching about 355 km for the long-range variant.
  • The EV now supports up to 65 kW DC fast charging for roughly 20–80% in 26–30 minutes, offers an optional 7.2 kW AC charger, and can add about 135 km of usable range in a 15-minute high-power DC session.
  • A new integrated 6‑in‑1 e‑drive cuts size, weight and wiring while improving efficiency, with outputs rated at 88 hp/154 Nm (30 kWh) and 129 hp/154 Nm (40 kWh) and a 0–100 kph claim of under 9 seconds for the latter.
  • Higher trims add dual 10.25-inch displays, ventilated seats, a surround-view camera and six airbags, as reviewers flag strong value versus base Nexon EV and overlap with MG Windsor and Citroen eC3 alongside noted rear-seat and service-quality caveats.
