The carmaker leading the electric vehicle market in India is Tata, starting with the Nexon EV subcompact SUV in early 2020 and most recently with the Tiago EV compact hatchback. The introductory pricing of the latter, starting from Rs 8.49 lakh (ex-showroom), has made it more accessible than the Nexon EV, so much so that it is the first ever car purchase for some. According to Tata’s President of Passenger Vehicles, Shailesh Chandra, around 25 to 30 percent of the Tiago EV’s first 20,000 bookings are from first time buyers.

Deliveries, Bookings Update And Wait Time

Tata has delivered the first batch of the Tiago EV comprising 2,000 units of the electric vehicle across 133 cities. It also revealed that the all-electric Tiago had garnered more than 10,000 bookings in a single day, making it the fastest booked electric vehicle in India. Till now, the electric car has already bagged over 20,000 bookings, with an average waiting period of two and a half months in top 20 cities across the country.

Variants And Price Range

The Tiago EV is sold in four trims: XE, XT, XZ+ and XZ+ Lux, launched at introductory prices between Rs 8.49 lakh and Rs 11.79 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi). These prices were only for the first 20,000 bookings, and will be hiked soon. It will compete with the upcoming Citroen C3 EV, while being an affordable alternative to its sedan version, the Tigor EV. Although the Citroen EV is unlikely to match the Tiago EV's bookings share, it could also be a popular pick among first-time buyers looking for a compact electric offering.
