Tata Motors has outlined its EV plans for 2026. The company has confirmed that it will enter the premium EV market under the Avinya brand by the end of 2026, following the launch of the Sierra.ev and the updated Punch.ev in the first half. These three models will form the core of Tata’s next EV wave, with three more nameplates to follow by FY2030 as the brand expands its electric line-up across more segments.

Tata’s EV expansion comes at a time when the company has crossed the 2.5 lakh EV sales milestone in India, with the Nexon.ev becoming the first electric car in the country to surpass 1 lakh units in sales. About 26 percent of Tata’s EV customers are first-time car buyers.

2. Tata to add three new EV nameplates between FY2027 and FY2030

What to expect from the Sierra.ev and updated Punch.ev

Upcoming SUVs to increase Tata’s footprint across core EV segments

The Sierra.ev will join the midsize electric SUV segment and is expected to offer RWD and AWD options. It will carry over the ICE Sierra’s design while incorporating EV-specific elements such as a closed-off front panel with fewer openings. The Sierra.ev is expected to be based on the acti.ev+ platform, shared with the Harrier EV.

The Punch.ev will likely receive updates in line with the ICE Punch, which is due for a facelift early next year. The EV should see similar mid-cycle changes, including tweaks to the exterior and a few added features, while continuing to be Tata’s most affordable electric SUV.

With the aforementioned models, alongside the Tiago.ev, Tigor.ev, Nexon.ev, Curvv.ev and Harrier.ev, Tata’s electric line-up will cover more segments.

Avinya brand to launch its first model in 2026

New premium EV line to debut Tata’s Gen 3 platform

The Avinya models will be the first to use Tata’s Gen 3 skateboard born-electric platform. The first Avinya offering is expected to arrive by the end of 2026 and will be positioned above Tata’s current EV range. The new platform will enable larger and more advanced models, giving Tata entry into the premium EV segment.

Three more EV nameplates to follow through FY2030

Upcoming models to be supported by expanded charging infrastructure

Tata will introduce three additional electric nameplates between FY2027 and FY2030, taking the total to five new EVs in the next five years. Among these five are the Sierra.ev and the first model under the Avinya brand, while the others could also be new additions to the Avinya family. These models will extend Tata’s presence across more segments and will be rolled out alongside routine updates to the existing range. 

The expansion will also be supported by a growing charging network, with 4,00,000 charge points, including over 30,000 fast chargers, through TATA.ev Open Collaboration framework. Tata plans to scale it up to 1 million charge points with 1,00,000 fast chargers by 2030.
