“This milestone is a springboard for electrification to grow. It represents the fast-progressing ecosystem, giving confidence to customers, suppliers, charging infra players and investors to deploy new technologies and build capabilities in the industry.

We are excited to be a part of this journey as we tap into the immense potential of the Indian auto industry and look forward to many more exciting milestones.”
Shaping the future of mobility, Tata EVs have covered a distance of 1.4 billion kilometers - an astonishing feat akin to three round trips to the sun.

From an economic standpoint, Tata EV owners have collectively saved a staggering INR 7 billion on fuel costs during the ownership of their electric vehicles. This substantial saving reflects on the cost-effective and sustainable nature of this technology.
To ‘Go Beyond’, Tata Motors has already declared its 3 phase EV strategy. The company plans to offer different body styles at several accessible price points, meeting the evolving needs of the EV consumers. The Company has already showcased future concepts at the Auto Expo 2023 – the Curvv, Harrier EV, Sierra EV and the Avinya. These aspirational EVs will open up new segments of customers in India. Charging infrastructure will further penetrate to every corner of the country, enabling seamless mobility and ending range anxiety. More investments are expected towards creating a robust supply ecosystem for EVs. The Company remains dedicated to enhancing electrification in the country and empowering Indian consumers to make sustainable choices without compromising on performance or reliability.
