Moving forward
Tata Motors aims to launch ten electric vehicle models in the next 3 to 4 years.
In addition, it set a target to have its EVs account for at least 25% of its overall vehicle sales by 2025 and 30% by 2030. It represents a notable increase from just 9.3% in 2023.
This year, it aims to sell over 75,000 units.
