Tata Motors is already a player in the Indian EV market and recently launched an updated EV version of its sedan — the Tigor in India. The Tigor EV uses a 26kWh battery pack and has a claimed range of 306 kilometres and sends 74bhp and 170Nm of torque to its front wheels.

Tata Motors also sells a fully electric version of its compact Nexon SUV in India. The Nexon EV is powered by a 95kW electric motor paired with a 30.2kWh lithium-ion battery pack. The SUV sends 128bhp and 245Nm of peak torque to its front wheels and is capable of a top speed of 122km/h. The Nexon EV has an ARAI range of 312 kilometres on a single charge.

The EV Tigor and Nexon currently combine for around 3,000 to 3,500 bookings every month for Tata Motors, stated Mr Chandra to TOI.

Tata aims to boost these numbers significantly with its new $2 billion investment which will supercharge vehicle and EV infrastructure production. Tata Motors expects green vehicles to account for 20 per cent of its sales over the next 4-5 years.

Tata Motors is not expected to create a new platform for its incoming rush of EVs but instead will rely on its existing ALFA and OMEGA platforms.

This means that some of the 10 new EVs could very well be fully electric versions of fossil fuel burning Tata cars and SUVs already on sale in the Indian market today.

With Tata stating that it expects SUVs to make up for 60 per cent of its sales in the coming years, something that the Indian customer will absolutely love to hear.
