Tata Motors launched the updated Punch EV facelift in India on February 20, 2026, with prices starting at ₹9.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai), aiming to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles in the country.
The new model offers two battery options: a 30 kWh unit delivering a range of 265 km, and a 40 kWh unit with an ARAI-certified range of 468 km. Real-world range for the 40 kWh variant is estimated at 355 km, according to Tata Motors.
Fast charging capabilities are included, with the ability to charge from 20% to 80% in 26 minutes using a 65 kW DC fast charger. A 15-minute fast charge can add up to 135 km of range.
A significant feature of the Punch EV facelift is a lifetime high-voltage battery warranty for the first owner, covering unlimited kilometers with the 40 kWh battery pack. This warranty is valid for 15 years from the date of registration.
The electric motor produces 130 PS of power, enabling acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in under nine seconds. The vehicle boasts a 195 mm ground clearance and a water-wading ability of 450 mm, with a restart gradeability of 32 percent.
Drivers can select from three driving modes – Eco, City, and Sport – and utilize four levels of regenerative braking controlled via paddle shifters.

This design reduces the module’s size by approximately 50% and its weight by 28%, while improving efficiency by nearly 6%. The module also features a 30% reduction in electrical connections and a 40% decrease in the use of semiconductors.
