With a futuristic design, advanced energy management, and a special emphasis on efficiency, the Avinya promises to be a game changer in India's EV space.

Tata Motors Avinya: Tesla's Rival electric SUV may be priced around Rs 25 lakh

Tata Motors is preparing to challenge Tesla with the upcoming Avinya electric SUV. Based on Tata’s next-gen “Gen 3” EV architecture, the Avinya is anticipated to be a direct rival to the Tesla Model 3. Although the Tesla Model 3 would cost in excess of Rs. 30 lakh in India, Tata’s Avinya, curiously, might land up at a lower Rs. 25 lakh price bracket, making it a relative budget buy for Indian customers.

Tesla will reportedly mark its entry into India soon, with sales starting as early as April. The company will most likely import cars from its Berlin factory, in the beginning. The Indian government, which previously had not-so-gently encouraged Tesla to build a factory in its country, is now contemplating reducing import taxes. Lastly, with Tata’s strong local presence, it will be in a better position than Tesla, which will be dependent on imports initially in terms of pricing, manufacturing, and after-sales support.

Tata Avinya: Future of Indian Electric Vehicles!

With the Tata Avinya, Tata Motors is leading itself into the future, building the new electric SUV in India for the world. Engineered for a variety of terrains, Avinya features high structural safety, advanced waterproofing, and dust protection, making it an ideal solution for Indian road conditions. It also has ultra-fast charging capability, providing at least 500 km of range in less than half an hour, making it a worthy competitor in the premium electric vehicle space.

To begin with, Tata Motors has been focused on restructuring its business and creating ground for electric vehicles (EVs). Tata could merge its newly separated electric mobility unit, which was recently bifurcated with the demerger of its commercial vehicle (CV) and passenger vehicle (PV) divisions, with its PV business after the demerger process is complete, according to reports.

Tata Motors had in 2021 also started running its CV, Passenger Vehicles (PV+EV), and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in a way to run each business with individual growth plan. There is minimal crossover between CVs and PVs, but Tata sees major benefits in bringing together petrol, diesel, and electric PVs in areas like autonomous driving and vehicle software, which align with JLR’s strengths. The upcoming restructuring will help reaffirm Tata's position as a global player in the automotive space with a sound EV and tech innovation strategy.

The Electric Future 

Elon Musk has been targeting India’s booming EV sector for some time, citing its enormous growth potential. Driven by government push, technological innovations, and growing consumer interest, India is expected to become one of the biggest markets for electric vehicles (EVs) in the world. India has 2030 EV targets of 30% of private car sales, 70% of commercial vehicle sales, 40% of bus sales, and 80% of two-and three-wheeler sales. This represents a challenging target of 80 million EVs populating Indian roads by the end of the decade. This change calls for India to become the fulcrum of domestic EV manufacturing, as per the ‘Make in India’ vision, and India as a leader in sustainable mobility globally. As industry giants like Tata Motors and Tesla gear up to enter the field, India’s  EV revolution is only beginning.

Final Thoughts

Tata Motors' 'Tesla rival' Avinya electric SUV may be priced around Rs 25 lakh creating a game-changing model for India’s electric vehicle (EV) landscape.
