Tata Motors today launched their second electric vehicle – the Tigor EV – in the Indian market. Tigor EV was earlier available for government offices only. The newly launched version is available for civilians now. Prices for the all-new Tigor EV sedan start from Rs 11.99 lakh, ex-showroom for the base XE variant.
According to Mr. Shailesh Chandra, President, Passenger Vehicle Business Unit, Tata Motors
EVs are fast gaining popularity on the back of rising comfort of customers, as the barriers to adoption are being overcome and due to growing preference for environmentally friendly solutions. This has been spearheaded by our very own Nexon EV, which today is the most popular EV in the Indian market. The increasing support from the central and the state Government, providing subsidies and a conducive environment for EVs to grow, inspires us to expand our EV offerings to our customers. We are ecstatic to launch the Tigor EV today, powered by the capable Ziptron Technology. The Tigor EV is a perfect option for all aspiring sedan buyers who are looking to own a vehicle that is technologically advanced, comfortable and high on safety standards, while also being an environmental-friendly commute, making it an irresistible choice for the buyers to #EvolveToElectric.
