Tata Motors, the country's leading automotive manufacturer headquartered in Mumbai, has reached an impressive milestone by achieving a domestic sales figure of 20 lakh SUVs. The manufacturer's SUV portfolio currently consists of the ICE-powered Safari, Harrier, Nexon and Punch, along with the electrified Punch and Nexon.
Tata's journey to 20 lakh units began with the launch of the two-door Sierra SUV in 1991. The introduction of the Nexon in 2017 marked the company's entry into the compact SUV segment, further expanding its footprint in the Indian market. Tata's reach extended beyond the compact SUV segment with the sub-compact Punch SUV in the same year. Tata kicked off the EV offensive in India in January 2020 when the company's first zero-emission passenger vehicle – the Nexon EV – was launched to set the tone for its transition to electric mobility in India. Its Punch EV is the youngest electric vehicle from the homegrown automaker. Launched in January 2024, the Punch EV is the 5-star rated vehicle recently tested alongside the Nexon EV by Bharat NCAP.
