Tata Motors has started deliveries of the updated Tata Punch EV in India. The model was launched in the country last month with a starting ex-showroom price of Rs 9.69 lakh. The company is also offering the vehicle with a Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) option, which lowers the initial purchase cost while adding a battery subscription charge based on usage. The updated version introduces design revisions, changes to battery configurations and updates to equipment levels.

From the side, the overall body shape remains unchanged. The model now comes with 16-inch alloy wheels with a revised design. At the rear, the vehicle features connected LED tail lamps similar to the updated internal combustion engine (ICE) version. The rear bumper has also been redesigned. The Punch EV offers 195 mm ground clearance and a water-wading capacity of 450 mm.
