    With the shifting trends in Indian electric car segment, Tata Motors has been surpassed in sales by JSW MG Motor with the raging popularity of Windsor EV. Tata is making major revisions to the Nexon EV Long Range (LR) variants in 2025 as per a new strategy, as it aims to boost sales and re-establish dominance in India’s electric car segment.
    2025 Tata Nexon EV 40 kWh Variants
    Post the launch of Curvv EV, Tata Motors made major revisions to Nexon EV in powertrains department. For the first time, we saw the launch of 45 kWh Nexon EV LR variants, which is the same unit seen in lower variants of Curvv EV. Before this update, Nexon EV used to get a 40.5 kWh battery pack with its LR versions.
    Updated Tata Nexon EV Launched – Red Dark Edition
    In February 2025, Tata discontinued the LR versions of Nexon EV equipped with this 40.5 kWh battery pack. The company has not cited a reason behind this move. Tata is yet to reveal whether this is a permanent move or a temporary one as the company’s official website de-lists Nexon EV LR 40.5 kWh variants.
    With this move, Nexon EV is now offered with just two battery pack options – a 30 kWh unit or a 45 kWh battery pack option. The 40.5 kWh battery pack acted as a decent middle ground between 30 kWh and 45 kWh, which is not on sale anymore. Range promised by the company is 275 km with 30 kWh battery pack and 489 km with 45 kWh battery pack.

Notably, Tata is offering LR variant equipped with 45 kWh battery pack right from the base Creative trim.
    Price for 2025 Tata Nexon EV MR variants starts from Rs 12.49 lakh (Ex-sh) for Creative+ and goes till Rs 14.79 lakh (Ex-sh) for Empowered trim. 2025 Tata Nexon EV LR variants start from Rs 13.99 lakh (Ex-sh) for Creative and goes till Rs 17.19 lakh (Ex-sh) for Red Dark trim.

    Tata Harrier EV Mid Variant Spied Ahead Of Launch – New Wheel Design

    Tata Harrier EV Mid Variant SpiedTesting for Tata Harrier EV has commenced a long time ago and we should see it launch soon enough. However, the new set of spy shots shows Harrier EV in camouflage ahead of launch. Interestingly, this test mule is donning a new design for alloy wheels that is slightly different than the one showed on stage. Let’s take a closer look.
    Tata Harrier EV
    We have seen the new Tata Harrier EV at Auto Expo 2025 in all its glory. This new flagship electric vehicle from Tata is poised to revolutionise Indian EV market and rival Mahindra XEV 9e. Launch is likely to happen soon and it is expected to follow Tata’s aggressive pricing strategies and undercutting competition.
    Tata Harrier EV Mid Variant Spied
    This test mule was spied in Okhla Industrial Estate in Delhi NCR and it is wrapped in camouflage. It has a closed-off grill at the front, confirming that is, in fact, Harrier EV and not Harrier Petrol, which is also in testing phase (1.5L GDi). Interestingly, this test mule looks like a mid-level variant of some sort.
    We say this because it dons a wheel design that is different from the top-spec trim showed at Auto Expo 2025. On closer inspection, this wheel design looks similar to the one offered with Adventure Plus trim of Harrier ICE, but finished in a monotone Black shade on this test mule. This particular wheel on Harrier ICE is 18-inches and wrapped with 235-section tyre.

    Top-spec trim will come with 19-inchers and probably 245-section tyres. These spy shots show a glimpse of the interior that reveals the same steering wheel as Harrier ICE along with the same 12.3-inch free-standing infotainment screen with wireless Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, dual-zone climate control and more.
    What to expect?
    At the grand stage of Auto Expo 2025, Tata Motors unveiled a production version of Harrier EV, which marked a significant shift in company’s strategies. For the first time post BS6 emission norms implementation in 2020, a Tata Motors car is getting power sent to rear wheels. That too, in a much more sophisticated way.

    There is a paradigm shift in performance too as Harrier EV packs two electric motors for blistering acceleration. Total system power is not revealed, but total system torque is 500 Nm. The suspension is massively overhauled as Harrier EV packs front and rear independent suspension as well.
    Tata Harrier EV Mid Variant
    Apart from the performance, Harrier EV is promised to bring significantly more features. On the stage, Tata Motors demonstrated self-park feature, similar to what we saw and experienced in BE 6 and XEV 9e. So, the excitement quotient around Harrier EV is immensely high and it is expected to set a new benchmark in technology and performance.

    Tata Motors EV Sales Decline 11.2% YoY – Likely To Miss 1 Lakh Target

    New Tata Punch EV. Image – Shubhadip SinghaTata Motors, once a dominant force in the Indian EV segment, is grappling with declining sales despite maintaining the largest market share
    Tata Motors, India’s leading electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer, is facing a challenging fiscal year as it struggles to achieve its ambitious EV sales target of 1 lakh units for FY25. Despite dominating the EV segment with popular models like the Nexon EV and Punch EV, the company recorded an 11.2% year-on-year decline in EV sales during the first eight months of FY25, delivering 42,778 units. With just four months remaining, the automaker faces an uphill battle to even surpass its FY24 sales of 73,844 units.
    Missing EV Sales Target
    This marks the second consecutive year that Tata Motors has failed to meet its 1 lakh unit EV sales target. N. Chandrasekaran, Chairman of Tata Motors, had previously set this ambitious goal, doubling the company’s FY23 EV sales during the annual general meeting in July 2022. However, the company missed its FY24 target and is now falling short in FY25 as well.
    A Tata Motors spokesperson noted that the entire passenger car market is experiencing flat growth, with the EV adoption curve similarly affected. “Discontinuity in central and state policies incentivizing EV purchases has contributed to this slowdown. With EV being the destination technology for the passenger car industry, we remain focused on developing the market for mainstreaming EVs,” the company said.
    Analysts predict that the overall Indian passenger car market is likely to end FY25 with a modest 2% growth compared to the previous year, reflecting the impact of subdued consumer demand.
    Windsor has become No 1 selling electric car in Oct 2024
    MG Windsor Steals the Spotlight
    In stark contrast to Tata’s declining sales, the MG Windsor has made a significant impact since its launch. In November 2024, it recorded sales of 3,144 units, surpassing the Tata Nexon EV for the second consecutive month. The Windsor’s strong performance has cemented its position as the No. 1 best-selling electric car in India, challenging Tata Motors’ long-standing dominance in the EV market.
    Tata Motors’ upcoming models, such as the Harrier EV and Sierra EV, are expected to bolster its portfolio, but their impact will be felt only in the next fiscal year. Competition will be even more fierce by that time, as Maruti will have their eVitara, Hyundai will have Creta EV and Mahindra will have BE 6e and XEV 9e. As new players and models enter the market, established brands like Tata Motors will need to adapt to maintain their market position in this rapidly evolving space.
