It will be celebrated every year to encourage current and prospective EV users, as they make the shift to zero-emission mobility which will help save the environment. Local transportation companies and fleet operators switching to green mobility play a vital role in EV adoption in the country.

We are delighted to join this global #WorldEVDay movement to propagate the dynamic role e-mobility plays in a sustainable and zero-emission future."

World EV Day aims to celebrate e-mobility solutions across the globe and will also look to address the wider role of climate change and air quality."

Tata Motors recently launched a new programme called the "Tata uniEVerse" to help build an EV ecosystem in the country.

The Tigor EV is focused to cater to fleet operators and ride-hailing platforms. While the Tata Nexon EV caters to private and commercial buyers as well. The electric compact-SUV retails at a starting price of Rs 13.99 lakh. While the top-spec variant retails at Rs 15.99 lakh. All prices mentioned are ex-showroom (India).
