TATA.ev today launched the new avatar of its popular Punch.ev, ushering in the next wave of mass EV adoption in India. Designed to democratize entry level electric mobility, the new Punch.ev brings together everything customers seek in not just their first electric car but also their first household car, by holistically addressing the key barriers limiting EV ownership—affordability, range confidence, charging convenience, and battery assurance; thereby solving the full equation for mainstream EV adoption at scale.
Launched at an attractive introductory price of just ₹ 9.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai), the new Punch.ev brings EV ownership to near on‑road price parity with ICE offerings in the entry‑level small‑car segment TATA.ev is also offering the option of BaaS, starting at ₹6.49 lakh with a Battery EMI of ₹2.6 / km*****, enabling an alternative financing option for customers.
Built on the advanced acti.ev architecture, the new Punch.ev takes pure EVs to the next level. Having pioneered the subcompact SUV category while retaining its spot as one of India’s most loved SUVs, the Punch in its EV avatar is an undeniable choice for a wide spectrum of buyers.
With a larger 40 kWh LFP prismatic cell battery pack delivering a higher and more meaningful real-world C75 range ~355 km* and ARAI certified (P1+P2) range 468 kms**, the new Punch.ev is ideal for everyday city use and short intercity trips, with reduced need for frequent charging stops. Additionally, the new Punch.ev will also be offered with a new 30kWh battery pack option. With these two options combined, the new Punch.ev enables a seamless transition for customers from ICE to electric, delivering superior drive quality, lower running and maintenance costs, and uncompromised every day or long distance travel on a single charge.
With fast charging support, the 2026 Tata Punch EV battery can quickly charge from 20% to 80% in just 26 minutes****. Furthermore, it easily tops up the battery with 135 Km of real-world range in just 15 minutes****, roughly the time of a quick tea or coffee break on long drives.
