Tata Motors to expand EV portfolio, Tiago to go electric

On World EV Day, Tata Motors has announced expansion of its passenger vehicle portfolio. The company, which already has the Nexon EV and Tigor EV driving its electric mobility in the PV market, now plans to roll out the electric version of the Tiago hatchback.  The Tiago EV will, most likely, be India’s most affordable electric passenger vehicle. 

Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said, “World EV Day is indeed a special day for us, as we look back and reflect on our journey so far. We are proud to lead the EV market in India, with a lion’s share of 88%. As early entrants, we have shaped the market and seen it grow with Nexon EV and Tigor EV. We have over 40,000 Tata EVs plying on road and we are grateful to the early adopters who have shown faith in the brand. Leveraging group synergies, we have also established Tata UniEVerse, a one-of-its-kind EV ecosystem, which is further propelling the EV adoption.

“Earlier this year, we had unveiled our three-phased approach towards building a comprehensive EV portfolio. As we accelerate our future journey, we are committed to launch 10 EVs in different product segments, body styles and affordability levels. Today, is a momentous occasion for us, as we announce the expansion of our EV portfolio further with a new mainstream intervention from the stable of Tata Motors, the Tiago EV.  As a leader, we are now pioneering the next phase of the EV market expansion, which will bring all the EV benefits of an exciting yet easy drive, silent cabin, low cost of ownership to a more accessible level.”
