In a landmark move, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd (TPEM), a Tata Motors subsidiary, has significantly reduced prices for its leading electric vehicles (EVs), the Nexon.ev and Tiago.ev, aiming to accelerate EV adoption in India through lower battery costs.

JAMSHEDPUR – Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd (TPEM), a subsidiary of the automotive giant Tata Motors, has announced a major price reduction for its flagship electric vehicles, the Nexon.ev and the Tiago.ev.

This strategic decision is aimed at fostering electric vehicle adoption across India, facilitated by the declining cost of battery cells.

The Nexon.ev, which stands as one of TPEM’s top-selling models, now begins at an attractive price point of Rs. 14.49 Lakh, marking a substantial decrease of up to Rs. 1.2 Lakh. Similarly, the Tiago.ev has experienced a price cut of up to Rs. 70,000, setting its new starting price at Rs. 7.99 Lakh.

These revised prices reflect the company’s commitment to transferring the benefits of reduced battery cell prices directly to consumers, enhancing the affordability of electric vehicles.

Driving EV Adoption Forward

Mr. Vivek Srivatsa, the Chief Commercial Officer at TPEM, expressed optimism regarding future reductions in battery costs, which are anticipated to further propel the adoption of EVs across the nation.

Expanding the EV Horizon

Tata Motors, commanding over a 70% share in India’s electric vehicle market, is on a robust path to diversify its EV lineup.

The company has set ambitious targets to introduce 10 new EV models within the next three to four years, aiming for electric vehicles to constitute 25% of its total car sales by 2025.

With a 100% growth in EV sales observed in January 2024 compared to the previous year, Tata Motors is strategically positioning itself to cater to a broad spectrum of customers through an expanded portfolio offering various body styles, range options, and price points.
