Tata Motors has revealed that the much-anticipated Punch EV will launch in India on January 17, 2024. The Punch EV will become Tata’s fourth EV to go on sale in India and the first to sit on an all-new Acti.ev platform that will form the basis of a range of upcoming all-electric models from the brand.

The Punch EV gets a noticeable design update as compared to the standard Punch. The overall look is more in line with the new Nexon EV with a lightbar sitting at the base of the bonnet, an enclosed body-coloured grille and the headlamps sitting lower down in triangular housings on the bumper. The Punch EV also looks to get the charging point on the nose. The overall proportions, silhouette and tail section though remain unchanged over the internal combustion model.
