The Tata Punch EV is an all-electric micro-SUV that brings affordable electric mobility to the mass market in India. Built on Tata's Gen 2 EV architecture, the 2026 model is offered with two battery options: a 30 kWh pack for city-focused buyers and a larger 40 kWh LFP prismatic cell pack aimed at those needing longer range. The top-spec 40 kWh variant delivers an ARAI-certified range of 468 km (claimed), with a real-world C75 range of approximately 355 km (claimed), making it one of the most range-capable vehicles in its segment.
The 2026 update brings meaningful upgrades under the skin, including faster DC fast charging that takes the battery from 20% to 80% in approximately 26 minutes (claimed), and a 15-minute top-up that adds around 135 km of real-world range. Power output on the 30 kWh variant has been bumped to 88 PS and 154 Nm (claimed), while the 40 kWh variants offer higher outputs suited to highway driving. Tata also offers a lifetime HV battery pack warranty, adding long-term ownership confidence.
Inside, the Punch EV features a 360° surround-view camera system, in-cockpit navigation (Driver View Maps), iRA.ev connected car technology, and smartwatch connectivity on higher trims. Priced from ₹9.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai), it positions itself as one of the most accessible electric SUVs in India, competing directly with the MG Comet EV and Citroen ëC3 at the entry level while also taking on the Nexon EV in the broader segment.
