In a bid to accelerate sales of affordable electric vehicles in the market, Tata Motors plans to expand its battery subscription ownership plan. It is expected to make entry-level EVs more accessible to buyers shopping for less than Rs. 12 thousand – a segment that represents huge annual sales volumes but contributes only a small part of the spread of electric cars in the country.
Under this flexible purchasing scheme, customers can either pay the full ex-showroom cost up front or choose a discounted purchase price – along with a usage-related battery charge. For example, the recently launched Punch EV model was listed at Rs. 9.69 lakh while the subscription format brings the initial price down to Rs. 6.49 thousand.
For battery usage, rental charges are Rs. You must pay 2.6 per kilometer. The company believes this format can help neutralize key hurdles that often discourage first-time EV owners, such as higher purchase costs, uncertainty about driving range, and tax differences compared to gasoline cars. With India’s lower price ranges collectively generating over 30 lakh passenger vehicle sales every year, a simple shift towards electrification could be a huge volume puller.
