When asked about the potential for a smaller EV, and possibly reviving the Nano brand, Shailesh Chandra remained non-committal. “With the upcoming Harrier EV, I can look at providing all options for consumers, including a 4x4 option. But going forward, most international EVs are using prismatic cells.” The upcoming EV is an electrified version of Tata’s compact SUV, the Punch. So the Punch EV, which is coming, will be styled to look more like an EV,” he said. Tata Motors aims to debut its new 1.5-litre TGDI turbo-petrol engine in the upcoming Tata Sierra, following which, it will be offered in the Safari and the Harrier.
