Tata Punch Hits Manipal with On‑Road Price of ₹7.08 Lakh in July 2026
By ETF Desk
Tata Motors has unveiled its newest compact SUV, the Tata Punch, on the Manipal market in July 2026. The on‑road price starts at ₹7.08 lakh, inclusive of a Rs 13,000 GST charge, for the base 1.2‑litre, 4‑seat variant.
The Punch, which shares its platform with the Altroz hatchback, has been a popular choice among urban commuters owing to its robust build, features such as a large touchscreen infotainment system, and a 115 bhp engine. Tata’s strategy to launch the model in Manipal comes after a successful rollout in Bengaluru and nearby districts, reflecting the brand’s focus on expanding its presence in Karnataka’s growing automotive market.
For local buyers in Manipal, the 7.08‑lakh price point positions the Punch competitively against rivals like the Maruti Suzuki Vitara Brezza and Hyundai Venue. The launch is expected to boost sales in the region and encourage more consumers to consider Tata’s compact SUV portfolio as a viable, affordable option. Source: Google News – Manipal.
