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.

Mahindra BE 6e Vs Tata Curvv EVWith more performance to offer, Mahindra BE 6e shines bright in this comparison against Tata Curvv EV, which is more conservative
With the launch of BE 6e and XEV 9e, Mahindra has rewritten the rule book of electric SUVs in India. The spectacular launch at Mahindra’s Unlimit India event held in Chennai, BE 6e and XEV 9e defies all expectations and come with extremely competitive prices. Smaller BE 6e is priced from Rs 18.9 lakh (Ex-sh) and directly takes on Tata Curvv EV.
Both offerings are modern and new-age, in their appearance. Both offerings take a coupe SUV shape. And, both are priced along similar brackets and are quite similar and comparable in terms of dimensions. So, let’s take a look at how Mahindra BE 6e fares against Tata Curvv, comparing their specs, dimensions, performance and other attributes.
BE 6e Vs Curvv EV
Mahindra BE 6e Vs Tata Curvv – Specs
We have to start this comparison with pricing, as that is currently the talk of automotive town. The starting price of BE 6e is Rs 18.9 lakh (Ex-sh) for the base Pack 1 with 59 kWh battery and 231 bhp motor. In comparison, Tata Curvv is slightly more affordable starting from Rs 17.5 lakh (Ex-sh), but base model comes with 45 kWh battery and 150 bhp motor.
BE 6e Vs Curvv EV – Specs
It has to be noted that BE 6e’s base battery of 59 kWh is still considerably larger than Curvv’s higher-spec 55 kWh battery. The main differentiating factor between BE 6e and Curvv EV is powertrain layout. BE 6e is a RWD vehicle packing up to 286 bhp of peak power and 380 Nm of peak torque, while Curvv is a FWD vehicle with up to 167 bhp and 215 Nm.
BE 6e Vs Curvv EV
BE 6e can sprint to 100 km/h from a standstill in just 6.7 seconds, while it takes 8.6 seconds for Curvv. With RWD, Mahindra has introduced fun into the equation with RWD, something that is currently not present in any of the mainstream electric SUVs sold in India. The main reason for this is that BE 6e is a ground-up born EV, while Curvv is a derived EV where engineers get a lot less freedom.
BE 6e Vs Curvv EV
Where range is concerned, Mahindra promises 500+ km on a single charge with a 79 kWh battery variant in real-world conditions with AC on. ARAI claimed range is a bonkers 682 km. Owing to its smaller battery, Curvv EV’s range is a lot more modest at 502 km (MIDC) and up to 425 km with Tata’s C75 Range metrics for the larger 55 kWh option.
Which is the larger vehicle?
Another notable element with Mahindra BE 6e is the lifetime warranty for initial buyers which is non-transferable. Curvv EV’s battery warranty is only 8 years or 1,60,000 km. Where charging is concerned, Mahindra has the upper hand again with support of up to 175 kW of DC fast charging when opposed to Curvv’s 75 kW. Tata provides a 7.2 kW AC charger as standard, while Mahindra offers 7.2 kW or 11.2 kW options, both optional.
BE 6e Vs Curvv EV – Dimensions
Where dimensions are concerned, BE 6e comes out ahead of Curvv EV as it is 61 mm longer, 97 mm wider and has a 215 mm longer wheelbase. Curvv EV is slightly taller by 10 mm. Curvv EV offers a larger 500L boot, while BE 6e’s boot is slightly smaller at 455L. However, BE 6e has a 45L frunk, as opposed to Curvv’s 11.5L.
BE 6e Vs Curvv EV
Despite being a larger vehicle, Mahindra BE 6e has a smaller turning radius at 10m, thanks to variable geometry in its steering gear ratios. Curvv’s wheels top off at 18-inches, while BE 6e’s start from 18-inches and go all the way till 20-inches. Even the tyre sizes are different. Curvv EV tops off at 215-section, while BE 6e gets 245-section tyres.

Tata Sierra EV SpiedExterior detailing on the production model of Tata Sierra EV is largely the same as seen with the concept
Tata Motors will be introducing the Sierra EV next year in both ICE and EV formats. In its concept form, the SUV was last showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo. Ahead of its launch, images of the production model have leaked online. Most of the styling bits seen with the concept version have been retained in the production model. Use of Tata’s new design language is evident, which can also be seen with other cars such as Curvv EV and upcoming Harrier EV.
Sierra EV – What to expect?
Sierra EV has a prominent closed-off grille section, top mounted full-width LED strip and a chiselled bonnet with distinctive lines. It has a strong presence when viewed from the side as well. Key highlights include flush door handles, door moulding, squarish wheel arches, thick body cladding, roof rails and sporty alloy wheels.

Sierra EV’s charging port is located at the rear on the left side. One of the USPs of Sierra EV is that it retains the signature features of the original ICE Sierra. Key among them are the wide B pillars and the wraparound glass effect at the rear.
With the use of a black plastic finisher, the rear windows merge seamlessly with the rear windshield. The same is applicable for the combo of the rear windows and the panoramic sunroof. However, that effect cannot be seen in these images, as only the side and front view has been captured.
Tata Sierra EV Concept
At the rear, Sierra EV has sharp tail lamps and a full-width LED strip. A prominent bumper section complements the SUV’s dominating profile. A tailgate mounted spare wheel, as seen with the original Sierra, would have added more dynamism. However, that’s not available. At least, not with this particular unit. The spare wheel for Sierra is likely to be in the lower section of the boot.

Tata Sierra EV – Performance
Tata has not revealed any specs about the electric powertrain to be used with Sierra EV. The SUV could be using a 45 kWh or 55 kWh battery pack. Range could be around 550 km. While a single motor setup will be standard, it remains to be seen if a dual-motor configuration with AWD is also available.
During an investor’s meet, Tata recently announced that Sierra will be launched by the end of 2025. Before that, a preview could be provided around the 2025 festive season. Sierra will be available in both EV and ICE versions. As Tata is the market leader in the EV segment and wants to strengthen its position, Sierra EV is likely to be introduced first before the ICE model. A similar approach was utilized for Curvv. The Curvv EV was launched in August 2024, followed by the ICE variant in September 2024.

Tata Sierra EV Concept
Information about the launch timeline of Sierra was revealed during the company’s investors meet. Before the launch, Tata could provide a preview of the production version of Sierra in the 3rd quarter of 2025.

New Sierra design – a hint of the old, a touch of the new
Tata Sierra had some distinctive features such as the wide rectangular rear windows and thick B-pillars. With the new Sierra, these features have been retained and tweaked slightly in line with modern design aesthetics. As seen with the concept models, the B pillar is now thicker.

And the rear windows now have a more noticeable wraparound effect. A black plastic finisher has been used to achieve the wraparound effect. The combo of wide rear windows and a panoramic sunroof will provide truly seamless views of the outside world.

While the original Sierra had fixed rear windows, the new Sierra has standard windows like any other modern SUV. Also, the 3-door format has been replaced with a proper 5-door setup. Other styling bits for the new Sierra will be based on Tata’s new design language being used for its upcoming electric cars like Harrier EV.

Some of the key highlights include full-width LED light bars at front and rear, sleek headlamps, squarish wheel arches, sporty dual-tone alloy wheels and flush door handles. At the rear, the new Sierra has a prominent roof mounted spoiler and a rugged bumper design.
New Sierra interiors
New-gen Tata cars offer a comprehensive range of features. The approach will be the same for the new Sierra. The concepts have revealed minimalistic, yet elegant interior spaces. Equipment list is likely to include dual 12.3-inch screens, Tata’s new steering wheel with illuminated Tata logo, wireless charging, ventilated seats, leather upholstery, etc. A wide range of connectivity features will be available. New Sierra will also get a robust ADAS package, improving overall safety of passengers.
