Tata Motors EV Roadmap: 10 New EV Models by 2025

Tata Motors is making significant strides in the electric vehicle (EV) sector, with a clear vision for the future. In this interview, Sambhaji Jaybhay, Lead Simulation & Advanced Technologies, and Sangeet Hari Kapoor, General Manager at Tata Motors, discuss the company’s ambitious plans for the EV market. They share insights into Tata Motors’ roadmap for 2025, the challenges faced by the EV industry, and the innovations driving the shift towards greener, more sustainable mobility. With an exciting lineup of new models and advancements in technology, Tata Motors is well-positioned to lead the charge in India’s electric vehicle revolution.

How is Tata Motors moving forward in the EV sector?

Sambhaji Jaybhay: Tata Motors currently holds a strong presence in the EV segment in India. We already have EVs based on ICE platforms, and in the future, we will be introducing Born EVs as well. This clearly reflects that Tata Motors has a robust plan for the coming years. I’ll let Kapoor add to this.

Sangeet Hari Kapoor: The future of EVs looks very promising. During today’s presentations, we saw that EV adoption is growing not just in India but also in other markets. However, the adoption trends tend to fluctuate based on government incentives. We are still in the early stages of this journey, but EVs undoubtedly represent the way forward.

What challenges does the EV industry face, and how are they being addressed?

Sangeet Hari Kapoor: One of the major challenges is charging infrastructure. The government and the Tata Group are actively working on this, expanding the number of EV chargers not only in residential areas but also along highways. With this fast-tracked execution, we will soon reach a tipping point where the issue of range anxiety will be resolved.

Currently, for short city trips, people feel safe, but long drives can cause concerns about charging availability. This challenge is being tackled aggressively. Additionally, advancements in battery technology are increasing the energy density, which in turn improves the range of EVs. These combined efforts are rapidly addressing the industry’s primary challenges.

What is the future of electrification, and what are Tata Motors plans for 2025?

Sangeet Hari Kapoor: By 2025, company goal is to have 10 EV models in the market. This roadmap is very much in progress. I can assure you that the new models will be thrilling, exciting, and appeal to people of all age groups.

What are your views on EV technology?

Sambhaji Jaybhay: EV technology is already well-established in European countries. They are moving towards fully battery-electric vehicles. While we hear about technologies like range-extender electric vehicles, they aren’t yet prevalent in India.

Hybrid electric vehicles, though present, tend to have higher ownership and maintenance costs due to the combination of an internal combustion engine and a battery. On the other hand, full battery-electric vehicles (BEVs) are greener, more efficient, and ideal for the Indian market. At Tata Motors, we are focused on making BEVs more energy-efficient and affordable for Indian customers.

What is your resolution for 2025?

Sambhaji Jaybhay: By 2025, Tata’s EV fleet will prioritize energy efficiency and reduced ownership costs, ensuring our vehicles remain affordable and practical for customers.

Sangeet Hari Kapoor: I’d like to add that in January 2025, the Auto Expo and Bharat Mobility Show will take place. I invite everyone to attend and witness Tata Motors’ progress and future offerings firsthand.

Conclusion

Tata Motors is at the forefront of the EV revolution in India, with a clear roadmap and ambitious goals. By addressing critical challenges such as charging infrastructure and range anxiety, along with advancements in battery technology, the company is working toward creating a more sustainable and efficient EV ecosystem.
