Deliveries for higher Tiago EV variants are being prioritised. Entry-level Tiago variants will see customer deliveries by end of this month.
Tata Motors has commenced pan-India deliveries of the Tiago EV hatchback, with 2,000 units delivered in the first batch across 133 cities. The company claims they have received over 20,000 bookings for the Tiago EV so far – the first 10,000 having come in just the first day.
At launch, Tata had said the introductory prices would only be applicable on first 10,000 bookings of the Tiago EV. However, overwhelmed by the response, Tata has now extended the introductory prices to another 10,000 customers. Prices for the Tiago EV currently range between Rs 8.49 – 11.79 lakh (ex-showroom, India)
- Four month waiting period for higher variants
- Tiago EV has a range of up to 315km
- Tiago EV Blitz coming in FY2024
The Tiago EV comes with two battery pack options – 19.2kWh and 24kWh. The brand is prioritising deliveries of the latter first, with deliveries of the Tiago EV with the smaller battery commencing towards the end of February.
