Visually, the Tigor EV looks similar to the regular Tigor, but it distinguishes itself with an illuminated 'EV' badging on the grille. The most significant change is the powertrain, which is an electric drive system, which is developed and supplied by Electra EV.

The Electra EV is a company established to develop and supply electric drive systems for the automotive sector. Electra EV said that it is committed to the Government's vision for electric vehicles by 2030 and will work towards building a sustainable future for India.
