When I looked up, Exide EPIQ 74Ah EPIQDIN74L was among the first battery finder results.

DIN 80 battery instead of OEM DIN 78 in Tata Harrier / New Safari
Recently, my 2021 Tata Harrier’s Battery was not holding enough power for the cold start in the morning if I had left the Dashcam in parking surveillance mode during the night.
When I looked up, Exide EPIQ 74Ah EPIQDIN74L was among the first battery finder results.
But I started looking for options available in Amaron and Amaron Pro 74Ah AAM-PR-574102069 came up. Given that I had accessories like a Dashcam and planned an audio upgrade soon, I did not want to go for the lower Ah battery than OEM.
I then remembered someone on FB Harrier/Safari Owners Group saying they had upgraded to a DIN 80 battery. One thing to note here is that the OEM battery capacity 78Ah is available in Exide and Amaron only in their economy series batteries, Exide Flo and Amaron Go, both come with only 24 months full + 24 months pro-rata warranty.
I requested the garage technician to arrange for both 74Ah and 80Ah (Amaron Flo AAM-FL-580112073) and asked him to try fitting the 80Ah battery first without brute force. To my surprise, all we had to do was move the battery holding bracket from the prefinal notch to the corner one (as shown in the pictures).
