Tata Motors has officially launched the facelifted Tata Punch EV in the Indian market, further strengthening its position in the affordable electric vehicle space. With aggressive pricing, two battery options, and a long list of premium features, the updated Punch EV aims to make electric mobility more accessible for everyday users.
The new Tata Punch EV is priced from ₹9.69 lakh to ₹12.59 lakh (ex-showroom). Under the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) model, buyers can also opt for a starting price of ₹6.49 lakh, with battery usage charged separately, making initial ownership even more affordable.
Two Battery Options with Practical Range
The facelifted Punch EV is offered with two battery packs to suit different driving needs.
The 30 kWh variant delivers a real-world driving range of around 270 km, making it ideal for daily city commutes and short highway trips. Meanwhile, the larger 40 kWh battery offers an estimated real-world range of about 350 km, suitable for longer journeys and mixed driving conditions.
With a claimed 0–100 km/h time of just 9 seconds, the Punch EV also stands out as one of the quickest cars in its segment, offering brisk performance for urban and highway use.
Fast Charging and Lifetime Battery Warranty
Charging convenience is another major highlight of the new Punch EV. Using a 65 kW DC fast charger, the battery can be charged from 20 percent to 80 percent in just 26 minutes, significantly reducing downtime during long trips.
Adding to customer confidence, Tata is offering a lifetime, unlimited-kilometre battery warranty, addressing one of the biggest concerns around EV ownership and long-term reliability.
Built for Indian Roads
The Tata Punch EV continues to focus on practicality and durability. It comes with a ground clearance of 195 mm and a water-wading capability of 450 mm, making it well-suited for rough roads, monsoon conditions, and uneven terrain commonly found across India.
These credentials ensure that the electric Punch retains the rugged character that made the ICE version popular among Indian buyers.
Safety and Technology Package
Safety remains a strong point for the Punch EV facelift. The car is equipped with six airbags, Electronic Stability Control (ESC), Tyre Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), Hill Hold Assist, High Beam Assist, and ISOFIX child seat mounts as standard across variants.
On the technology front, Tata has loaded the Punch EV with premium features rarely seen at this price point. Highlights include ventilated seats, a sunroof, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, a 10.25-inch infotainment system, ambient lighting, and wireless phone charging. These additions enhance comfort and bring a more upmarket feel to the cabin.
Revolutionary Pricing Strategy
One of the biggest talking points of the Tata Punch EV Facelift is its aggressive pricing. The ex-showroom price ranges from ₹9.69 lakh to ₹12.59 lakh, while the BaaS model allows customers to enter EV ownership at ₹6.49 lakh.
Under the BaaS scheme, buyers pay separately for battery usage, reducing upfront costs and making the car more affordable for first-time EV users.
At ₹12.59 lakh, the top-end variant offers exceptional value for money when compared to rivals, considering its range, performance, safety package, charging speed, and premium features.
A Practical EV for Everyday Families
With a real-world driving range of over 300 km in most conditions, the Tata Punch EV is well-suited for a 70:30 usage pattern—primarily city driving with occasional highway trips.
For a family of four, it delivers the right balance of space, comfort, safety, and low running costs. Combined with Tata’s strong service network and growing charging infrastructure, ownership becomes even more convenient.
The facelifted Punch EV effectively bridges the gap between conventional internal combustion cars and modern electric mobility, making it one of the most practical and sensible EV choices in its segment today.
With its competitive pricing, strong performance, and feature-rich package, the Tata Punch EV facelift is poised to play a key role in accelerating EV adoption in India.
Final Verdict
The Tata Punch EV Facelift brings together strong performance, long range, advanced safety, modern features, and revolutionary pricing in one compact package. It successfully bridges the gap between conventional petrol cars and modern electric vehicles.
For buyers looking to switch to electric without compromising on practicality or affordability, the new Punch EV stands out as one of the most complete and value-packed options in the Indian market today.
