In a move set to electrify the region, Tata Motors announced that the all‑electric Harrier SUV will be available in Manipal from July 2026 at an on‑road price of ₹24.77 lakh.
The Harrier EV, built on Tata's revamped K platform, features a 64‑kWh battery that offers a range of up to 450 km on a single charge, paired with 300 HP motors and regenerative braking. Its pricing strategy aligns with the company’s goal to make EVs accessible in Tier‑2 and Tier‑3 cities, and Manipal, located in Udupi district, will be the first market to see the launch. Dealers will offer local leasing and charging‑infrastructure support as part of the package.
For consumers in the Udupi district, the launch of the Harrier EV at ₹24.77 lakh represents a cost‑effective alternative to both international EVs and traditional combustion‑engine SUVs, potentially boosting local sales and accelerating the adoption of electric vehicles in Karnataka’s sprawling markets.
