Overview of Affordable and Mid-Range Electric Vehicles in India for 2026
India's electric vehicle market offers a range of options from affordable compact models like the Tata Tiago EV, priced around ₹4.69 lakh with a claimed range of up to 293 km, to mid-range SUVs such as the Tata Curvv EV and MG Windsor EV priced between ₹14 lakh and ₹34 lakh. These vehicles feature modern technology, safety systems, and varying battery capacities. Analyses suggest that while EVs have higher upfront costs, models like the Tata Nexon EV may offer quicker fuel cost payback compared to petrol variants, depending on daily usage.
