Latest & Top Tata Motors Punch News Update
Tata packs a Punch: The five forces that pulled it off
Tata Motor’s decade-and-a-half-long journey in India’s fiercely contested passenger vehicle market has seen more misses than hits. While the Indica, the first passenger hatchback from Tata Motors launched in 1998, made some noise, the list of forgotten models, including Indigo, Bolt, Estate, Sierra, and Zest, is long. The Tata Nano, the INR1 lakh car launched in 2008, too, fizzled out after the initial euphoria.

Tata's Punch EV and ICE won't have same design
Tata Motor’s latest electric car, the Punch EV, looks markedly different from the Punch already available in petrol and CNG variants, and that differentiation will remain, going forward. Martin Uhlarik, the head of global design at TataMotors, toldFE that the aim is to have differentiated products in the EV and ICE (internal combustion engine) segments, and the Punch is a perfect example of that. "The Punch EV has been developed on a new electric vehicle plat-form called the `acti.ev' (pro-nounced as `active'), instead of the ALFA platform on which the Punch ICE is based; Uhlarik said. "Even though a platform doesn't necessarily imply a different design, the Punch EV is almost as good as a born-electric car:' For instance, EVs don't have an engine and don't need a radiator grille, so the front of the Punch EV is flat and neat, with a thin strip of light running from left to right, and the charging socket in the middle.
From the sides and the rear, the Punch EV looks like the Punch ICE, though. "Unlike the Punch ICE, however, the Punch EV has a trunk — a front storage area," Uhlarik said. "The word is a portmanteau, blending `front' and 'trunk'. EVs usually have compact electric motors that are much smaller than a petrol/diesel engine and its ancillaries such as intake and exhaust systems, and a big radiator. The space thus freed can be utilized for storage, which we have done in the Punch EV." But the biggest difference between both the cars is inside the cabin. For instance, the Punch EV has a digital dashboard, steering wheel featuring an illuminated Tata logo, a jewelled control knob (gear-shifter), phygital control panel for controlling climate, as well as the luxury car feature of mood lighting. "It also has dedicated EV screens such as the multi-dial, full-view navigation and the energy flow (from the battery to the tyres and vice-versa); Uhlarik added. Although Uhlarik didn't confirm it, industry sources told FE that the Punch ICE facelift is scheduled in 2025, but it's unlikely to look any-thing similar to the Punch EV.
