The EV unit of Tata Motors is gradually grasping the electric car market of India with record sales numbers over the last years. The company is gearing to take the advantage of this lead by expanding its EV portfolio in the country. As the next move, the homegrown maker will be bringing long-range versions of Tata Nexon EC and Tigor EV.

While few of the upcoming Tata electric car models are confirmed, others are still rumored. Here’s a list of the upcoming Tata Motors electric car in India that are in the pipeline.
1. Tata Nexon EV MAX (Long Range)
Tata is all set to launch the long-range version of its existing Nexon EV in India on May 11.

It packs a 30.2kWh under the hood that gives a range of 312Km on a single charge.

2. 2022 Tata Tigor EV
The next electric car in the pipeline is the 2022 Tata Tigor EV but the official details are still not public. For an improvement to the 2021 model, the upcoming Tigor EV is expected to come with rechristened chassis and a better suspension-braking system to go with the body weight. The electric car could pack a new battery pack for a 365km to 400km range.

The company is currently selling ICE models of Tata Altroz in India and is widely believed to be working on its EV counterpart.
