Pricing and Variant Details

Tata Motors launched the updated Punch EV in February 2026. Bookings opened later that month for a token amount of Rs 21,000. The facelifted Punch EV is priced from Rs 9.69 lakh to Rs 12.59 lakh (ex-showroom). The base model pricing starts at Rs 6.49 lakh.

The electric SUV is available in five variants: Smart, Smart+, Adventure, Empowered, and Empowered+. The Smart 30 and Smart+ 30 variants have the longest waiting periods, ranging from 8 to 10 weeks. This suggests strong demand for entry-level trims. Variants with the larger battery pack, such as Smart+ 40, Adventure 40, Empowered+ 40, and Empowered+ S 40, have shorter waiting periods of about 7 to 8 weeks.

The Punch EV facelift includes several new features. It now offers a voice-activated sunroof, a 10.25-inch digital instrument cluster, wireless charging, ambient lighting, and a 360-degree camera.

The exterior has also been updated. The facelift features a refreshed front fascia, revised bumpers, updated LED lighting, and a ground clearance of 195 mm. Colour options include Fearless Yellow, Bengal Rouge, and Caramel.

The Punch EV facelift comes with two battery pack options: 30 kWh and 40 kWh. The 30 kWh version produces 88 hp and 154 Nm of torque. The 40 kWh battery delivers 129 hp with the same 154 Nm torque.
