The People’s Car Electrifies
Tata Motors is set to revive the iconic Tata Nano in 2025 as a budget-friendly electric vehicle (EV), sparking excitement across India. Rumored to launch by mid-2025, possibly at the Bharat Mobility Expo, the Nano EV is expected to start at ₹5 lakh (ex-showroom), making it one of India’s most affordable EVs. Targeting students, first-time buyers, and urban commuters, it aims to outshine rivals like the MG Comet EV and Citroen eC3, bringing back the “people’s car” with eco-friendly flair.
Stylish Design & Modern Tech
The Nano EV 2025 ditches its old boxy shape for a sleek, modern look with sharp LED headlights, a minimalist grille, and 14-inch alloy wheels. Its compact 3.2-meter length and 4-meter turning radius make it a city-driving champ. Inside, expect a 10-inch touchscreen with Android Auto/Apple CarPlay, a digital cluster, and Bluetooth connectivity. Safety features include dual airbags, ABS with EBD, a rear parking camera, and a projected 4-star Bharat NCAP rating, addressing past safety concerns.
- LED headlights with DRLs
- 10-inch touchscreen with smart connectivity
- Dual airbags, ABS, and parking sensors
- Vegan leather seats for eco-appeal
- Fast-charging port (80% in ~1 hr)
Electric Performance & Range
Powered by a 20-25 kWh lithium-ion battery, the Nano EV offers a real-world range of 150-200 km, ideal for daily commutes. Its 35-45 bhp electric motor delivers a top speed of ~100 kmph and 0-60 kmph in ~10 seconds. Regenerative braking and a 4-5 hour home charging time (or 1 hour fast-charging) ensure efficiency. While some X posts claim a 300 km range, experts peg 200 km as realistic given the price. Maintenance costs are low, at ~₹800-1,200/year.
Key Specifications

Why It’s a Big Deal
At ₹5 lakh, the Nano EV undercuts the MG Comet EV (₹6.99 lakh, 230 km range) and offers car comfort at premium bike prices (~₹7,000/month EMI). Its 180 mm ground clearance tackles urban roads, and Tata’s 500+ service centers ensure easy upkeep. X buzz hails it as a “middle-class EV dream,” though some doubt its range and battery reliability based on Tata’s past Nano models. With a 3-year/1 lakh km warranty, it’s poised to disrupt the budget EV market.
Launch & Availability
Bookings are expected to open in July 2025, with deliveries starting by October 2025. Test drives may begin at Tata’s 500+ dealerships post-reveal. Visit ev.tatamotors.com for updates. If Tata nails the ₹5 lakh price and 150+ km range, the Nano EV 2025 could redefine affordable electric mobility in India. Get ready for the comeback of a legend!
