Hon?ble Minister of Road Transport & Highways of India, Nitin Gadkari said, ?My heartfelt congratulations to Tata Motors on this significant milestone as the Nexon.ev and Punch.ev receive a 5-star rating, under Bharat-NCAP. The certification aligns with the Indian government's vision for safer vehicles in the country and emphasises the role of Bharat-NCAP in making India's automobile industry 'Aatmanirbhar'. The Bharat-NCAP car safety standard is pivotal in realising the government?s vision to make India a global automobile hub and increase its export worthiness in International markets.?

Commenting on this extraordinary achievement, Shailesh Chandra, MD, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility & Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, said, ?Safety, once less discussed, is now a top priority for the Indian car buyer. At Tata Motors, safety is engrained in our DNA, which has made us an industry benchmark. We have continued to be the pioneers in driving the safety conversation ? ensuring that our commitment reflects in every vehicle we manufacture, regardless of price point. We welcome stricter government safety standards and are proud to be the first manufacturer to have sent vehicles and lead the Bharat-NCAP protocol with superlative results. We are delighted to produce India?s safest vehicle ? an EV ? in the Punch.ev, while the Nexon.ev continues its legacy of safety with its 5-star rating. Together, all four of our SUVs tested under the Bharat-NCAP have achieved 5-star ratings, setting a benchmark for all passenger vehicles to follow. Looking ahead, our proactive stance on safety will continue, backed by extensive R&D to help us evolve and enable us in leading the way to create a safer future for every road user.?

The Punch.ev, since its launch, has been quite an attraction for EV enthusiasts and first-time buyers, with over 35% owners from the rural markets. With its combination of long range, exalting performance, cutting-edge technology, and features that are generally found in segments 2 ? 3 above its own, the Punch.ev has attracted over 10,000 proud members to its family. It?s not only a truly electric SUV; it?s a bold step into the future of mobility. The Punch.ev also scores mighty high on convenience and punches above its weight, offering a premium experience that is accessible to customers.

Credited as the kickstarter of India?s EV revolution, the Nexon.ev has sold over 68,000 units since its launch in 2020. The updated game changing avatar of the SUV unveiled in 2023 makes a significant leap forward for the entire Indian auto industry. Its striking digital-first design, technology-driven driving experience, and ground-breaking innovations makes it a true gadget on wheels and has established a new benchmark in the Indian EV industry.
