Tata launches electric Tiago, India’s most affordable EV

In what would make electric cars more affordable in a country that is dominated by two-wheelers, India’s largest electric carmaker Tata Motors on Wednesday unveiled Tiago.ev, one of the few electric four-wheelers priced under Rs 10 lakh.

Experts said the move will offer car buyers an electric option in the sub-10 lakh segment for the first time. “This is a very positive move as it will speed up the democratisation of EVs (electric vehicle) in the PC (passenger car) segment,” said Suraj Ghosh, Director, Powertrain & Compliance Forecasts, South Asia, S&P Global Mobility.

“We believe now is the right time to fast forward the ongoing revolution towards the future of mobility by introducing vehicles that will encourage rapid adoption of EVs,”
