With Creta Electric’s launch around the corner (at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2025), the biggest question on everyone’s mind is its cost. While the company hasn’t revealed the vehicle’s price, Hyundai India’s executive recently hinted at the vehicle’s price.
Hyundai Electric’s Starting Price Could Be Around Rs. 15 Lakhs

Tarun Garg, Hyundai India’s COO, appeared for an interview with CNBC TV-18. At the interview, the executive spoke about how the company is willing to price its upcoming Creta Electric aggressively.
Garg believes that the Creta Electric should be priced between Rs. 15 lakhs to Rs. 25 lakhs (ex-showroom). Even so, the executive didn’t confirm the pricing in any manner. But why is there a buzz about the Creta Electric’s price?

Why Did Hyundai Choose Creta To Foray Into The EV Market?
That’s because Creta isn’t just another product, neither for the automaker nor for Indian consumers. Over the years, Hyundai has built a certain brand image and reputation around the mid-sized SUV.
Due to its feature-rich and comfortable interiors, reliable engine options, and satisfactory ownership experience, Creta has consistently bought in sales for the company. This is why Hyundai decided to foray into the EV market with the Creta.
Hyundai Needs To Conscious About Creta Electric’s Pricing

Creta’s availability in an electric version should draw more buyers to EVs. However, in 2025, a couple of other companies have already launched their eSUVs, competing directly or indirectly with Creta Electric. This is where Hyundai’s conscious pricing enters the picture.
In our Creta Electric vs. competition article, we compared the SUV’s range with other vehicles in the segment. At least in terms of claimed range numbers, the Creta Electric doesn’t match those of the MG ZS EV, Tata Curvv EV, and Mahindra’s BE 6 and XEV 9e.

For instance, the short-range version of the Tata Curvv EV, which costs Rs. 17.49 lakhs (ex-showroom), offers 502 kilometers of claimed range. Even the Mahindra BE 6’s base variant, which costs Rs. 18.90 lakhs (ex-showroom), provides 535 kilometers of claimed range.
Given that the Creta Electric’s base variant ships with a 42 kWh battery pack that offers 390 kilometers of range, it will only make sense to undercut the competition’s pricing. Hence, it would make sense for the company to price the base variant of the EV around Rs. 15 lakhs (ex-showroom).
The Long-Range Creta EV Version Could Command A Premium Price
However, even so, the long-range version of the Hyundai Electric, with the 51.4 kWh battery pack, will command a premium price. Along with a hint at the pricing, the executive has revealed Hyundai customers across the country will have access to 10,000 charging points, 7,500 of which are available on the MyHyundai app.
