Tata Motors has announced the launch of its upcoming electric vehicles, which are a part of its bigger plan to grow its range of electric vehicles. The company recently confirmed the launch of Tata Sierra EV, Tata Punch EV, and Tata Avinya.

These three vehicles will cater to different customer segments, ranging from practical urban commuters to those seeking luxury. The company also plans to launch five new EV models by the year 2030.

Enhanced EV Portfolio with New Platforms and Nameplates

Tata Sierra will use the new acti.ev+ platform, which is the same platform found in the Harrier EV. It supports both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive systems. Drivers can expect a range of over 500 km on one charge.

The premium brand, Avinya, will arrive in late 2026. These cars will feature the Gen 3 EV architecture for better performance. The skateboard design offers more cabin space and high-speed charging. Punch EV will also receive a new look in 2026.

Tata will primarily focus on the "phygital" retail plan for Avinya. It is creating a luxury brand to separate high-end cars from budget models. This strategy allows Tata to compete with brands like BMW, forcing global luxury leaders to protect their market share in India.

Strengthening Market Leadership Through Innovation and Infrastructure

Tata Motors holds 66% of the EV market today and plans to invest up to Rs. 18,000 crore by FY30. Much of this fund will be directed toward building a new charging network. The brand wants one million charging points by 2030 in India.

This plan includes 100,000 public chargers for long trips. Tata is also working with Agratas to build local battery cells to make electric cars as cheap as petrol cars. The firm also plans to create a separate retail network for the Avinya brand. These steps can help Tata keep a 50% market share and lead in both sales and technology.

The car manufacturer is focusing on the circular economy by reusing old EV batteries for power grid storage. This will create a new source of income. The second-life battery plan will significantly lower car costs while turning waste into a helpful asset for India’s energy sector.
