Tata Motors is among the most successful automotive makers from India, which is gaining a name for itself in the EV space due in large part to its Nexon EV and Punch EV.
There have been several recent reports suggesting that Tata is on its way to launching its first electric scooter by 2025.
The speculated scooter is said to have a 200km range, thereby putting it in the exact mix with the likes of EV scooter leaders today, including Ola Electric, Ather, and TVS.
What the Tata Electric Scooter Features in 2025
Here’s a structured look at what the electric scooter is rumoured to offer, based on industry chatter and reports.
Design and Build
The scooter is expected to adopt a streamlined and urban-friendly design. Sources suggest that it may come equipped with full-LED lighting, including headlamps, indicators, and taillights. Alloy wheels, aerodynamic panel design, and a digital display cluster are also anticipated.
The scooter may be targeted toward city commuters, especially those looking for an efficient and lightweight alternative to petrol-powered two-wheelers. Since Tata’s design division, Tata Elxsi, has been involved in automotive design for several years, many believe the final model would follow a minimal, functional aesthetic.
Connectivity and Features
Rumours point to advanced connectivity features such as Bluetooth integration, navigation support, and ride analytics via a companion smartphone app. A digital instrument cluster is likely, displaying range, trip info, and real-time battery status.
Some sources suggest OTA (Over-the-Air) updates could be included for future enhancements, a feature already present in Tata’s electric cars.
Braking and Ergonomics
Speculated features include a front disc brake for improved stopping power and a rear drum brake. The ergonomics are expected to be commuter-friendly, with a flat footboard, wide seat, and upright handlebar geometry.
Under-seat storage and a hook for grocery bags could be included for added convenience, keeping in line with urban commuter needs.
Price and Configurations
Though unofficial, pricing estimates suggest the scooter could fall between ₹1 lakh and ₹1.2 lakh (ex-showroom). This would place it in the competitive zone of mid-range e-scooters in India. Some industry analysts believe Tata may release more than one variant, possibly with different battery capacities or feature sets.
Launch timing has been speculated for August 2025, but again, no confirmation from Tata has been provided.
Manufacturing and Localization
Tata Motors already has large-scale EV production facilities and is part of the Make in India initiative. The company could use the infrastructure and supply chain it already has with the aim of cost control and quality. The company may also share platforms or components in Tata’s EV portfolio to facilitate production.
Security and Theft Protection
With the rising interest in EVs, securing high-value two-wheelers has become a priority for both manufacturers and users. Although unconfirmed, it is speculated that Tata’s electric scooter could feature security enhancements such as geo-fencing, remote lock/unlock, and anti-theft alerts via a mobile app.
Some reports also suggest keyless start systems, RFID-based ignition, and motion sensors that trigger alarms in case of unauthorized movement. These features, if implemented, would align Tata’s offering with current market leaders who are already integrating smart security tools into their EVs.
The rumored specifications, particularly the 200km range, are exciting and suggest a strong entry if realized. Until Tata makes a formal announcement, these details should be viewed as informed speculation.
Consumers and industry watchers alike continue to wait for credible updates, which could reshape the Indian electric two-wheeler market if confirmed.
