Tata Motors has reaffirmed its dominance in India's electric vehicle segment with a detailed roadmap for the coming years, confirming launches of the Sierra EV and a facelifted Punch EV in calendar year 2026 (CY26), alongside the Born EV Avinya by the end of that year. The strategy includes three additional unnamed EV models between fiscal years 2027 and 2030 (FY27-FY30), bringing the total to five new EV nameplates by FY30.
This expansion builds on Tata's current 60% market share in passenger EVs, leveraging the Acti.ev platform for enhanced range, fast charging, and connected features. The announcements, visualized in a recent company presentation, underscore Tata's commitment to leading the green mobility transition amid rising demand for affordable and premium electrics.
The Sierra EV, a premium mid-size SUV revival, is slated for an early 2026 debut, featuring a boxy design with aerodynamic tweaks like sealed grilles and aero wheels, as seen in recent spy shots. Built on the Acti.ev architecture, it will offer 65 kWh and 75 kWh battery options for 450-550 km range, with single- or dual-motor configurations (RWD/AWD) and independent rear suspension for superior handling.
Joining it is the facelifted Punch EV, an updated version of Tata's best-selling micro-SUV, also arriving in CY26. The refresh will incorporate minor styling updates, improved interiors with larger screens, and potential battery enhancements for better efficiency, maintaining its sub-₹15 lakh entry price to appeal to urban commuters.
Capping CY26 is the Born EV Avinya, Tata's high-end electric crossover, positioned as a tech-forward flagship with advanced ADAS, ultra-fast charging (up to 250 kW), and over 600 km range. Developed in collaboration with JLR, the Avinya will target the luxury segment above ₹30 lakh, blending futuristic coupe-SUV styling with sustainable materials.
Looking further, Tata plans three more EV nameplates in FY27-FY30, potentially including a compact hatchback, a larger MPV, and an adventure-oriented off-roader. These will expand the portfolio across segments, supported by Tata's growing charging network and localization efforts to keep prices competitive.
Tata's roadmap aligns with India's 30% EV penetration goal by 2030, emphasizing scalable production at facilities in Pune and Sanand. With over 1.5 lakh EVs sold in 2025 alone, the company aims to introduce these models with FAME-III subsidies, OTA updates, and ecosystem integrations like iRA connectivity.
As competitors like Maruti and Hyundai ramp up, Tata's focus on diverse, India-specific EVs positions it to maintain its edge. Official bookings for the Sierra EV and Punch facelift are expected in Q1 2026 with deliveries expected Q2 2026.
