Tata Motors has launched the Tata Punch EV facelift 2026 in India, with introductory prices starting at Rs 9.69 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai). The updated electric micro-SUV receives design revisions, new features and improved battery options, strengthening Tata’s position in the affordable EV segment.
The refreshed model is available in multiple variants and can also be purchased under Tata’s Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program, which lowers the initial purchase cost.

Battery, Range and Charging Options
The biggest highlight of the facelift is the updated battery and efficiency package. The Punch EV now comes with two battery configurations:
- 30kWh (Medium Range – MR)
- 40kWh (Long Range – LR)
The larger 40kWh battery delivers an ARAI-certified range of up to 468km, while the company claims a real-world (C75) range of around 355km.
Charging capability has also been enhanced. With 65kW DC fast charging, the battery can be charged from 20 to 80 percent in about 26 minutes. Tata also claims that a 15-minute charge can add up to 135km of driving range, making the Punch EV more practical for city users and occasional highway trips.
Updated Design and Exterior Changes
The facelift brings subtle but noticeable styling changes to align the Punch EV with Tata’s newer EV design language. Updates include:
- Revised front fascia
- Grey body cladding across the profile
- New LED tail lamps connected by a light bar
- Updated colour options
The new colour palette includes Fearless Yellow, Bengal Rouge, Caramel, Empowered Oxide, Pure Grey, Supernova Copper and Pristine White, giving buyers more personalization choices.
