In CY26, Tata confirms launching Sierra EV, new Punch EV and Avinya range of premium EVs in India
With more than 2,50,000 electric cars now in operation across the country, Tata Motors has reached a scale that few would have imagined when its EV journey began five years ago. Owners are spread across over 1,000 towns and cities with usage patterns also revealing a transformation in consumer mindset as nearly 84 per cent buyers rely on their EVs as their primary vehicle.
According to the brand, the driving behaviour reinforces this trend as on average, Tata EV owners have covered close to 20,000 km every year and around 26,000 vehicles have already crossed the 1,00,000 km mark. Long-distance travel has become increasingly common as well with roughly half of all owners having completed at least one journey longer than 500 km.
Collectively, Tata’s electric fleet has now travelled around 12 billion kilometres across every major state and national highway in India. From an environmental standpoint, the scale of adoption is beginning to show tangible results. Tata Motors estimates that its EVs have helped save approximately 1.7 million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions while reducing fuel consumption by nearly 800 million litres.

The Tata Nexon EV has been central to this growth story. Introduced in 2020 as India’s first mainstream electric SUV, it has now become the country’s first EV to cross 100,000 cumulative sales. Alongside models like the Tiago EV, Punch EV, Curvv EV and the recently launched Harrier EV, Tata Motors currently offers the widest electric portfolio in the personal mobility space, covering multiple body styles and price bands.
The Xpres-T EV continues to serve fleet operators. Behind this expansion lies a rapidly growing charging and service ecosystem. Tata’s EV customers currently have access to more than 2 lakh charging points through home installations, community chargers and public infrastructure enabled via partner charging point operators. The brand’s charging aggregator alone connects over 20,000 public chargers while 100 MegaCharging Hubs offering 120 kW+ fast charging are already operational along key travel routes.

The company has established close to 1,500 EV-dedicated service bays nationwide supported by over 5,000 trained EV technicians. In addition, the brand has pushed hard on localisation, developing battery packs and battery management systems in collaboration with Tata Group companies and localising key components such as power electronics and thermal systems.
Currently, more than half of every Tata electric vehicle is manufactured locally. Looking ahead, Tata Motors is preparing a new phase of expansion. The Sierra EV and a new-gen Punch EV are scheduled for launch in CY26, followed by the debut of the Avinya range of premium electric vehicles towards the end of the year. By FY30, the company plans to introduce five new EV nameplates including Sierra and Avinya, alongside multiple updates across its existing lineup.
Charging infrastructure will grow in parallel with products. Tata aims to scale up to 400,000 charge points by CY27 including over 30,000 public fast chargers and reach one million total charge points by 2030. Plans are also in place for battery refurbishment, second-life energy storage solutions and sourcing locally produced battery cells from Agratas’ upcoming gigafactory in Sanand.
Commenting on these achievements, Shailesh Chandra, MD & CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., said, “Crossing 250,000 EV sales reflects how electric mobility is fast becoming part of everyday Indian life. Our customers are driving more, travelling farther, and increasingly trusting EVs as their only cars. Our EV journey which began in 2018, was never about leading alone but about building the ecosystem to enable India’s transition to clean mobility.”
