Safety First: 5-Star Bharat NCAP Rated
The Harrier EV is not just about power and luxury—it’s also one of the safest EVs on Indian roads:
- 5-star safety rating under the new Bharat NCAP crash test standards
- 7 airbags (6 standard)
- Level 2 ADAS with lane keep assist, adaptive cruise control, and more
- Blind spot monitoring, TPMS, and front/rear parking sensors

Price & Tax Benefits: Smart Choice in Key Markets
The Tata Harrier EV is priced between ₹21.49 lakh and ₹30.23 lakh (introductory, ex-showroom). However, what sets it apart in states like Karnataka is the road tax exemption for EVs priced below ₹25 lakh.
Karnataka Tax Advantage
The Harrier EV Fearless+ 75 kWh, priced at ₹24.99 lakh, qualifies for 0% road tax, while its rival, the Mahindra XUV 9e Pack TWO 79 kWh, priced at ₹26.50 lakh, incurs 10% road tax, bumping its on-road price to ₹29.15 lakh.
Price Difference:
- Harrier EV: ₹24.99 lakh (no tax)
- XUV 9e: ₹29.15 lakh (with tax)
- Savings: ₹4.16 lakh, nearly enough to buy a Maruti Alto!
Performance vs. Competition: Who Wins?
While Mahindra’s XUV 9e offers a slightly larger battery (79 kWh vs. Harrier’s 75 kWh) and a more powerful single motor (285.5 PS vs. 238 PS), real-world range differences are marginal. However, Tata counters this with its dual-motor AWD variant, which adds 158 PS more power, bringing total output to 394 PS, making it India’s most powerful electric SUV under ₹35 lakh.
Consumer Response: Instant Success
Tata Motors has confirmed that over 10,000 bookings were received within days of launch, an achievement that underscores the growing demand for premium EVs in India. The Harrier EV trails just behind Mahindra’s XUV 9e, which recorded 16,900 bookings at launch.
Production is in full swing, with deliveries expected to start this month. Despite the global shortage of rare earth magnets, Tata has stated that its EV production remains unaffected.
Final Verdict: A True Game-Changer in the Indian EV Space
The 2025 Tata Harrier EV is more than just a battery-powered SUV; it’s a bold statement from Tata Motors showcasing what the future of Indian mobility can look like. With cutting-edge features, high performance, exceptional safety, and competitive pricing, it appeals to both tech-savvy buyers and driving enthusiasts.
Who Should Buy It?
- Those looking for a long-range premium EV
