Tata Punch 2026 Model Launches in Manipal with On‑Road Price of ₹7.08 lakh

In a move aimed at capturing the growing demand for compact SUVs, Tata Motors has announced the on‑road price of its latest Punch model in Manipal as of July 2026, setting the cost at ₹7.08 lakh. The price includes all applicable state levies, registration fees and a one‑year complimentary maintenance plan.

The updated Punch, built on the company’s compact SUV platform, features a 1.2‑litre TFSI petrol engine producing 117 hp, sharp handling dynamics, and a refreshed interior with a 7‑inch touchscreen and dual‑zone climate control. Tata touts the model’s safety credentials, including dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, and a driver‑assist suite that supports lane‑keeping and night‑time vision correction.

For buyers in the Udupi district, the price of ₹7.08 lakh places the Punch at the lower end of the sub‑4,000‑cc segment, offering a competitive alternative to rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and the Hyundai Venue. The launch is expected to boost Tata’s market share in Karnataka’s emerging SUV market and provide a budget‑friendly option for families and urban commuters. Source: Google News – Manipal.
