Maruti’s small EV aims straight at the Tata Punch EV

Maruti is developing a small electric car aimed at a broad audience, with the goal of entering the most affordable and competitive part of India’s EV market. The model could go head-to-head with the Tata Punch EV, which is currently one of the most interesting options thanks to its price and size.

For the brand, this would be a strategic move: offering a compact, city-friendly and cheaper alternative to the better-known electric SUVs. If the project is confirmed, Maruti would finally have a battery-powered model ready to attract buyers looking for their first EV without overspending.
