Tata Motors Electrifies Market, Crosses 2.5 Lakh EV Sales
The Nexon EV SUV itself is now the first EV in India to cross 1 lakh cumulative sales, aiding the automaker to achieve a dominant 66 per cent market share.
Pune: Tata Motors on Tuesday said it crossed a milestone of 250,000 electric vehicle sales in India since its EV journey began with its mainstream electric car Nexon EV in 2020.
The Nexon EV SUV itself is now the first EV in India to cross 1 lakh cumulative sales, aiding the automaker to achieve a dominant 66 per cent market share.
“Our customers are driving more, travelling farther, and increasingly trusting EVs as their only cars,” said Shailesh Chandra, MD & CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.
“As EV adoption accelerates, our commitment remains clear: to mainstream electric mobility by making it accessible across segments, strengthening the ecosystem, and investing in India-first technology and localization,” he noted, adding that the company was committed to lead India’s growing EV market.
At present, Tata offers a wide range of EVs for the customers which include the Tiago.ev, Punch.ev, Nexon.ev, Curvv.ev and the Harrier.ev. It also offers the Xpress-T EV for the fleet segment.
By FY2030, Tata plans to have five new EV nameplates, including the Sierra and Avinya, in addition to multiple updates and refreshes. The Sierra.ev and new Punch.ev are due in 2026.
The Avinya range of premium luxury EVs will be introduced around the end of next year.
Tata Motors said it is also scaling up the charging infrastructure, installing next-gen super-fast chargers.
The Mumbai-based automaker aims to set up 4 lakh charging points, including 30,000 public fast chargers by CY2027, and is aiming to install 1 million chargers and 1 lakh public charging points by 2030.
Tata Motors started its EV journey in 2018 when the Indian EV market was at its nascent stage. Products offered limited real-world range, pricing was often double that of comparable ICE vehicles, and charging infrastructure was sparse.
However, over the past six years, Tata improved range, narrowing the price gap with petrol and diesel cars, and built a charging and service ecosystem alongside its vehicle portfolio to make EVs attractive.
