Tata Punch EV Facelift: Variant-Wise Battery Options Explained

The 2026 Tata Punch EV facelift has been launched in India at introductory prices ranging from Rs 9.69 lakh to Rs 12.59 lakh (ex-showroom, pan-India). Buyers can also opt for Tata’s battery subscription (BaaS) model, under which the Punch EV is available from Rs 6.49 lakh, along with a running cost of Rs 2.6 per kilometre.

The facelifted Tata Punch EV is offered with two battery pack options — 30 kWh and 40 kWh, across five broad variants: Smart, Smart Plus, Adventure, Empowered, and Empowered Plus S. However, Tata does not offer both battery options across all variants.
