In late July 2026 Tata Motors’ refreshed electric version of its compact SUV, the Punch EV, received a five‑star safety rating from Bharat NCAP, scoring near the top in adult and child occupant protection. The rating covered all six variants, including 30 kWh and 40 kWh battery packs, and highlighted standard safety features such as six airbags, ESC, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX anchors and tyre‑pressure monitoring.

A week later, Tata Motors reported that the broader Tata Punch model line had crossed the 8 lakh unit sales mark within five years of its 2021 launch, becoming the fastest‑selling compact SUV in India. Sales between August 2025 and July 2026 rose 27.9 % year‑on‑year, with a record 21,313 units sold in July 2026 alone. The model’s availability in petrol, CNG and electric powertrains, combined with its feature set, has driven strong demand across both ICE and EV segments.
