Recently, Tata introduced its new all-electric sedan, the Tata Tigor EV with Ziptron technology. The all-electric vehicle is one of the most affordable EVs in the Indian market. But now, reports suggest that the Tigor EV is set to become even cheaper. The government of Maharashtra is likely to offer the Tigor EV with an INR 2.30 lakh subsidy. This means that the on-road price of the Tata Tigor EV entry-level XE variant will be around INR 10.38 lakh on the road.
According to reports, the Tata Tigor EV will come with a basic incentive of INR 5,000 per kWh. The Tata Tigor EV comes with a 26 kWh battery. This means the Tigor EV will come with incentives of INR 1.30 lakh. Furthermore, the government of Maharashtra also provides an early bird incentive of INR 1 lakh which takes the total incentive to INR 2.30 lakh.
The Tata Tigor EV comes with a starting price tag of INR 11.99 lakh ex-showroom. The Tigor EV with the XM trim comes with a price tag of INR 12.49 lakh ex-showroom. The XZ+ trim in standard colour comes with a price tag of INR 12.99 lakh ex-showroom and XZ+ DT (DualTone) with a price tag of INR 13.14 lakh ex-showroom.
