Tata Motors Targets EV Growth in FY26 with Harrier EV, Sierra EV Launches

Tata Motors to launch Harrier.ev and Sierra.ev in FY26 to boost EV sales Harrier EV to offer AWD setup and over 500Nm torque with expected 500+ km range Tata invests Rs 48,000 crore in FY25, eyes strong EV comeback with improved models and infrastructure

Tata Motors is getting ready for a big return in the electric vehicle market in FY26. After seeing a 10% drop in EV sales in FY25 — with around 65,000 units sold — the company is now working on new models and updates to its current EVs to win back momentum and strengthen its lead in the market.

The fall in sales last year mainly happened because of fewer fleet orders. The end of the government’s FAME II subsidy and issues faced by some fleet companies led to this dip. Now, Tata Motors is focusing on bringing fleet buyers back while also making its EVs more attractive to regular customers.

New Electric SUVs on the Way: Harrier.ev and Sierra.ev

To kick off its comeback, Tata Motors is planning to launch two new electric SUVs — the Harrier.ev and later the Sierra.ev. These new models will help the brand reach more customers, especially in the SUV and premium car categories.

Tata Harrier EV will be based on the company’s new Gen 2 Acti.ev platform. It will feature an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system and is expected to offer up to 500 Nm of torque. While the exact battery size, power, and range details are still under wraps, early reports suggest a driving range of over 500 km on a single charge. The electric version will look and feel quite similar to the regular Harrier SUV, but with some EV-specific touches inside and out.

Meanwhile, the Tata Sierra EV will be part of a broader lineup that includes petrol, diesel, and electric versions. The electric Sierra is likely to come with multiple battery options and a front-wheel-drive (FWD) setup. One of its standout features will be a 4-seat lounge-style cabin, offering extra comfort with ottoman-style rear seats. Tata is also keeping several design cues from the concept version, making the final model look both modern and nostalgic.

Furthermore, the company is making improvements to its existing EV models. These upgrades are expected to make the cars better in terms of design, performance, and features — keeping them competitive in a growing market full of new brands and models.

Better Charging Network and Big Investments

Tata Motors is also counting on the improved EV infrastructure to support its plans. The company now has access to nearly 21,000 fast chargers across the country, making it easier for people to own and use electric cars.

Financially, FY25 was a big year for the company. Tata Motors made its highest-ever investment of about Rs 48,000 crore, including around Rs 8,400 crore for its Indian operations and £3.8 billion for Jaguar Land Rover. This helped the group earn record revenues of Rs 4.4 lakh crore last year.

In FY26, the company will continue to invest at similar levels, showing its strong focus on the future of EVs.

Looking Ahead: Staying on Top in a Busy EV Market

As more carmakers enter the EV space, Tata Motors is focused on staying ahead by offering new products, improving current ones, and making charging easier. These steps are part of a bigger plan to keep leading the market and make EVs more popular among Indian buyers.

With exciting new cars, better infrastructure, and a clear strategy, Tata Motors is getting ready to make FY26 a turning point in its electric journey — aiming not just to recover, but to lead the way in India’s EV future.
