Tata Motors will be introducing a one-off Punch Kaziranga Edition at the IPL 2022 Mega Auction, the company has announced. The automaker is the title sponsor for this year's Indian Premier League and this will be a special model that will be auctioned to fans, the proceeds of which will go towards the conservation efforts at Kaziranga. While the company has not announced what makes the Punch Kaziranga Edition different, but we do expect to learn about it sooner to the start of this IPL season.
