Tata Motors has launched its first-ever electric car called Tigor EV. The car has an extended range of 213 Km and a starting price of Rs 9.44 Lakhs.

Tata Motors has just released its first-ever EV for the Indian general public. Dubbed Tigor EV, the new electric sedan was introduced to the commercial fleet operators and the government prior to this public release. The new RV comes with an extended range of 213 km and a starting price tag of 9.44 lakh Rs. This very reasonable price has already included government subsidies for EVs.

According to Tata Motors, the Tigor EV will have a range of up to 213 km which has already been approved by ARAI. This range is much higher than the 120 km of the earlier iteration which was sold to the fleet operators and the government. The RV will come in 3 variants XT+; XM+; and XE+ for both fleet and personal customers.

The Tigor EV features a battery pack of 21.5 kWh which, according to the company, will give it the aforementioned range. Moreover, the company also claims that it will only take 90 minutes for the car's battery to go from 0 to 80%.

Tigor EV offers various safety features including anti-lock braking and dual airbags; however; the XE+ only has Diver Airbag. The carmaker also offers 1.25 lakh kilometres or three years warranty for the EV.

Subsidies for Tigor EV

Being a vehicle powered by an electric battery, Tigor EV from Tata Motors has received specific incentives of the government if you decide to get an EV. The most significant one would probably be the reduction of GST on EVs from 12% to just 5%. Moreover, there are also other incentives under the government's FAME-II scheme.

Tigor EV will hit stores in 30 cities in the country. Take note that the purchasing locations would also impact the final price of the EV, given the differences in local incentives over EVs.

Earlier, Tata Motors has confirmed that they plan to release five new EVs in India by 2020. Beginning with this EV, that is what the carmaker wants to bring to the market.
