TATA.ev, the brand name of Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd, on Friday (February 19, 2026) launched the new avatar of its Punch.ev, at an introductory price of just ₹9.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai), to bring 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.

The vehicle comes with 355 km of real world range for comfortable intercity travel, express charging and lifetime battery warranty.
“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,” the company said.
Shailesh Chandra, managing director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicle Ltd. and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., said, “The new Punch.ev, makes electric mobility truly accessible, practical and worry free for every household.”
“With a real-world range of 355 km, fast charging capability, a lifetime HV battery warranty and a highly accessible price point, it resolves the core concerns that have thus far held customers back from choosing an entry level EV as their primary car,” he said.
“By bringing together everything customers seek in their preferred car for both daily and long-distance travel, the new Punch.ev marks a significant leap forward in the democratisation of electric mobility in India,” he added.
