The debate has been ongoing in both India and Nepal ever since Tata unveiled the electric version of their Tiago hatchback. Tiago has been anticipated in particular by buyers intending to purchase an EV in the 22 to 30 lakh rupee pricing range.
The Tiago EV’s importation into Nepal has advanced, according to Tata’s authorized dealer Sipradi Trading. By the end of January or the start of February, the business has stated that sales of the Tiago EV will commence in Nepal.
In the last few years, Tata has successfully migrated it’s fuel powered Nexon and Tigor models to the electric platform. The cheap Tiago Electric is the newest addition to the electric vehicle lineup from Tata Motors India.
The company has made good on its promise to release the hatchback variant within a month, as it did on World EV Day-2022.
The company’s Wednesday introduction of the Tiago EV in India was on schedule with previous announcements. At the 2018 Auto Expo, the idea to produce an electric version of the Tiago was first announced by the company to the public.

When fully charged, the company’s other 24 kW battery model can reportedly travel 315 kilometers. Similarly, its motor is rated at 55 kW. A sport mode is available as well.
The manufacturer claims that a full charge will take 4 hours using a standard AC charger and only 1 hour using a fast charger. It has a warranty of up to 8 years or 160,000 km.
