Tata Punch EV earns 5‑star Bharat NCAP safety rating
Tata Motors' 2026 facelift of the electric compact SUV Punch EV has been awarded a five‑star safety rating by the Bharat New Car Assessment Programme (Bharat NCAP). The vehicle achieved an Adult Occupant Protection score of 31.09 out of 32 and a Child Occupant Protection score of 45 out of 49, meeting the programme’s highest safety tier.
The rating covers all six variants of the Punch EV, including models with 30 kWh and 40 kWh battery packs. Standard safety equipment on every variant includes six airbags, electronic stability control, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX child‑seat anchors, hill‑hold assist, tyre‑pressure monitoring and rear‑view cameras. The result reinforces Tata Motors’ strong safety record in India’s automotive market and gives the brand a competitive edge in the sub‑₹15 lakh electric‑vehicle segment.
The five‑star rating is expected to boost consumer confidence as safety becomes a key purchase factor for Indian buyers of compact electric SUVs.
