The all-electric Tata Harrier has made an explosive debut, registering over 10,000 bookings on its very first day. This overwhelming response places it among the top-performing EVs in its segment, second only to its direct rival, the Mahindra XUV 9e, which had received 16,900 bookings on launch day earlier this year in February.
Manufacturing and Delivery Timeline
Production of the Harrier EV has officially begun at Tata Motors’ manufacturing facility in Pune. Customer deliveries are expected to commence in July 2025. While monthly production targets haven’t been disclosed yet, Tata Motors seems well-prepared to meet the rising demand. Despite the global challenges surrounding rare earth materials, Tata has assured that it currently faces no immediate supply chain bottlenecks, suggesting a steady production flow.
It’s possible that the company took preemptive steps such as reinforcing supply chains or maintaining a robust inventory of essential raw materials. The battery cells used in Harrier EV are reportedly imported from reputed suppliers in China and assembled locally into battery packs by Tata AutoComp. Additionally, Tata is setting up a battery gigafactory in India under its subsidiary, Agratas, which will begin production of lithium-ion cells by 2026. This move is expected to provide better cost control and production stability for Tata’s expanding EV lineup.
Harrier EV – Specs & Performance
The electric Harrier is available with two battery pack options – 65 kWh and 75 kWh. As per MIDC standards, these offer certified ranges of 538 km and 627 km, respectively. However, Tata also provides more practical figures using its C75 test cycle, which estimates the range at 420–445 km for the 65 kWh version and 480–505 km for the 75 kWh variant.
The top-end variant of the Harrier EV features a Quad Wheel Drive (QWD) setup, powered by dual motors and the 75 kWh battery pack. This variant has a certified range of 622 km, while the C75 estimate ranges between 460–490 km.
Performance-wise, the RWD variants deliver 238 PS of power and 315 Nm of torque. The dual-motor QWD variantoutputs 158 PS at the front and 238 PS at the rear, resulting in a combined torque of 504 Nm. The RWD trims come with Eco, City, and Sport driving modes, while the QWD version adds an exclusive Boost mode for added thrill.
Tata’s EV Vision – Aiming for 50% Market Share
As the electric vehicle space becomes increasingly competitive, Tata Motors is aiming to retain a 50% market shareover the medium to long term. The positive reception for the Harrier EV reaffirms Tata’s strong footing in the market and supports its future EV ambitions.
With the largest EV lineup in India’s mass-market segment, Tata is also working on upcoming models such as the Safari EV, Sierra EV, and Avinya range. To further strengthen its position, Tata Motors is preparing to invest up to ₹35,000 crore (approx. $4.1 billion) over the next five years.
