Tiago EV starting at Rs 8.49 lakh launched — bookings open on Oct 10

Tiago EV joins the existing lineup of Tata EVs — Tata Tigor EV and Tata Nexon EV. Tata Motors plans to have a portfolio of 10 EVs by 2026.

Following the launch, Tata Motors shares rose 1.5 percent from the previous close to Rs 405.10 at 12:10 pm.

Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd., and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd., said, “With the launch of the Tiago.ev, India’s first electric hatchback, the nation can take a giant leap forward in the quest for safe, clean, and green mobility."

He sees it as an ideal fun hatch that offers premium, safety and technology features, an eco-friendly footprint, and spirited performance, all made even more desirable with the added advantage of a low cost of ownership.

It will be the first in its segment to offer connected features as standard across all trims, which are usually offered in more premium cars. Tiago EV comes with two options of battery packs and four different charging solutions, enabling customers to choose the combination that best serves their mobility needs.

Tata Motors had earlier confirmed that the Tiago EV comes with connected car technology. It supports smartwatch connectivity, Apple Car Play, and Google Android Auto.

Tiago.ev is based on the Ziptron technology, which is Tata Motors’ in-house developed high voltage architecture designed for Indian driving and weather conditions.

"True to Ziptrons’ 5 key pillars, the Tiago.ev stands strong on performance, technology, reliability, charging and comfort. The Ziptron EV architecture is driven and proven over 500 million km across diverse and challenging Indian terrains, making it apt for an exhilarating EV experience," the firm said in a statement.
