In the four-wheeler EV segment, Tata has gone on to firmly set itself as the frontrunner targeting the mass market segments with its range of models such as the Tiago EV, Tigor EV and Nexon EV. The brand is also expected to further expand its EV line-up in the coming years. MG Motor India too has carved out a piece of the EV space with its ZS EV while Mahindra too has entered the market with its new XUV400.
