India’s electric vehicle revolution is accelerating, and Tata Motors is gearing up with its first electric scooter, set to debut in mid-2025. Positioned to compete with models like Ather 450X, Ola S1, and TVS iQube, the Tata Electric Scooter promises practicality, smart features, and brand reliability. In this post, we review everything you need to know — launch date, pricing, specifications, range, and standout features.
Launch Timeline & Availability
Expected Launch: July–August 2025
Pre-booking: Likely to open in June 2025 via Tata EV app and select dealer network
Initial Availability: 5–7 key metro cities (Mumbai, Delhi NCR, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad), expanding to 15–20 cities by end-2025
Tata's phased launch strategy focuses on well-established EV-friendly markets before scaling nationally.
Pricing Strategy
According to early estimates and insights from industry analysts, the ex-showroom price is expected to fall between ₹1.00 lakh – ₹1.15 lakh. Including state subsidies (e.g., UP, Maharashtra, Tamil Nadu), on-road prices could range from ₹85,000 – ₹1.00 lakh, making it competitive in the ₹1 lakh EV scooter segment.
Key Specifications Breakdown
Feature | Specification |
---|---|
Motor | 4–5 kW (continuous) Hub motor |
Battery | ~3.5 kWh Li-ion, IP67-rated |
Range | 100–130 km (real-world) |
Weight | ≈125 kg |
Top Speed | 75–80 km/h |

This specification suite positions the Tata e-scooter as a practical everyday commuter vehicle with adequate power and range.
Real-World Range & Charging
Tata claims a certified range of 120 km, but real-world conditions (terrain, riding style, load) should yield 100–110 km per charge. Features include:
Fast Charging: From 0–80% in ~1 hour using 3 kW DC charger (portable, home or public compatible)
AC Charging: 0–100% in ~4.5 hours using standard home charger
This eliminates “range anxiety” for short daily commutes and offers flexibility for longer trips.
Smart Features & Connectivity
Tata is expected to offer a rich feature set to compete in the smart scooter space:
7-inch TFT display
Integrated GPS navigation
Mobile connectivity via Tata EV App (Bluetooth + Cellular)
Geo-fencing, ride stats, lock/unlock via app
Phone notifications (calls/messages)
Multiple ride modes: Eco, Normal, Sport
Regenerative braking for energy recovery
These features will be key to appeal to urban commuters and tech-savvy riders.
Build Quality & Ride Comfort
Tata’s engineering pedigree brings:
Sturdy build engineered for Indian roads
IP67 waterproofing throughout the scooter
Balanced suspension tuned for city conditions
Electric drive for silent, vibration-free riding
The combination of comfort, durability, and ergonomics should position it well in its class.
Competition & Positioning
Here's how the Tata electric scooter compares:
Model | Range | Fast Charge | Smart Features | Price (ex-showroom) |
