The Tata Harrier EV is set to launch on June 3, as the new flagship model for the Indian carmaker's electric vehicle lineup. Though the Harrier EV has been showcased to the Indian audience several times, the company unveiled the final production version of the Harrier EV at the Auto Expo 2025.
The Tata Harrier EV will introduce the company's acti.ev plus architecture, which seeks to merge performance, cutting-edge technology, and an all-wheel-drive (AWD) system. Although Tata hasn't yet announced its complete specifications and feature list, here's what we can anticipate from the impending electric SUV. Tata Harrier EV: Exterior
The Tata Harrier EV maintains a great deal of the design theme of its diesel variant, only with certain elements to differentiate it as an EV. It has a closed front grille, a hallmark design of most EVs to enhance aerodynamics. Front and rear bumpers were moderately updated, drawing some inspiration from the single vertical slats that have been featured on the Tata Nexon EV.

Another very apparent difference is the aero alloy wheels, which are more efficient but do provide the car with a good stance. The LEDs feature linked daytime running lights (DRLs) and rear lamps that are mostly identical to the base Harrier. Tata Harrier EV: Interior and technology
Though Tata has not officially confirmed or showcased the cabin of the upcoming Harrier EV, the electric SUV is likely to share the same dashboard shape as the ICE model of the Harrier. The Harrier EV is likely to incorporate a black and white dual-tone colour scheme for the cabin, much like the Nexon EV and Curvv EV interior design language in most recent models produced by the company.
In terms of features, most amenities likely to be carried from the standard Harrier include a 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10.25-inch fully digital instrument cluster, a panoramic sunroof, and ventilated front seats. Additional premium features like dual-zone climate control and a powered tailgate are likely, too. One specific feature might be of considerable interest- the "Summon Mode" that will facilitate the car move ahead and backward, all done remotely using the key fob. Also, the passenger screen at the front is expected to make a mark.
On the other hand, safety should be important as well, featuring multiple airbags that may extend to approx- seven, a 360-degree camera, and Level 2 ADAS-equipped technologies for further driving assistance. Tata Harrier EV: Specifications
Tata Motors has confirmed that the Harrier EV will have an all-wheel drive, dual-motor setup, which will be the brand's first all-electric SUV to offer such a drivetrain configuration. While exact specifications of the battery haven't been revealed yet, it will most probably include a large-size battery pack, offering a range of over 500 km from a single charge. Also, a second, affordable variant is also likely to be offered with a single-motor, front-wheel-drive setup, for those who want a more affordable option but still require range.

Foreign oil partners to get first right of refusal in Indian exploration projects: Puri
New Delhi: Foreign oil and gas companies entering technical partnerships with Indian firms will be granted the right of first refusal (ROFR) in the event of hydrocarbon discoveries, Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister Hardeep Singh Puri said on Friday. The minister cited state-run ONGC's recent collaboration with BP for the Mumbai High offshore field and Oil India Ltd's agreement with Brazil's Petrobras in the Andaman Sea basin as examples where such provisions are in place. However, no clarification was provided on the exact contractual terms offered to BP and Petrobras. The ROFR mechanism gives the foreign partner the option to match any offer received by the Indian asset owner from a third party before sale or transfer. Addressing the CII Annual Business Summit 2025, Puri said foreign firms may prefer this model over competitive bidding as it reduces financial exposure. 'It's better that they come in as technical partners, for which they will be paid, and when you strike energy, they'll have the right of first refusal,' he said. On global crude prices, Puri said they are likely to stay close to USD 65 per barrel due to sufficient supply in the market. 'There are enough supplies in the market. I see global prices, and here I am, very careful, to be in the range of USD 65 per barrel. My sense is that prices will hold,' he said. Asked about possible fuel price cuts, the minister said, 'If prices remain like this, then going forward, these are things which you can legitimately expect.' Puri informed that over 1 million square kilometres of sedimentary basins that were previously marked as 'no-go' zones have been opened for exploration. This has led to 37 per cent of the bids under the Open Acreage Licensing Policy (OALP) coming from these newly available areas. Speaking on domestic oil production and refining, he said India's refining capacity, which currently stands at 260 million tonnes per annum (MMTPA), is projected to rise to 309.5 MMTPA by 2028. He said India is shifting from teapot refineries to larger refining hubs. On India's clean energy transition , the minister highlighted rapid progress in ethanol blending. He said the country had already achieved 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol by 2025, up from 1.4 per cent in 2014, ahead of its 2026 target. Puri reiterated the government's target of bringing green hydrogen production costs down to USD 1 per kg within a decade. He also underlined the potential of large-scale Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) production in countries including India, Brazil, the United States, and Canada. The minister said India imported 5.6 million barrels of crude oil per day in 2024, spending USD 139 billion. To reduce dependence, the country is exploring domestic resources and diversifying import sources from 27 to 40 countries, including Brazil, Guyana, Suriname, Canada and Argentina. India's oil marketing companies reported profits of ₹1.29 lakh crore in the last financial year, and the figure could match previous highs if ₹40,000 crore in pending dues are recovered, Puri said. The minister said that 22,000 km of gas pipeline has been laid as of 2024, with a target of expanding to 33,000 km by 2030. He said domestic gas availability has improved and global prices have stabilised, which will help in boosting industrial and residential consumption. On Compressed Biogas (CBG), Puri said the government has set a target of setting up 5,000 plants. He added that the production of Fermented Organic Manure (FOM) as a by-product remains a key revenue stream for producers. He said land availability and pricing mechanisms will be key to the pace of implementation. Regarding the Ujjwala Yojana, launched in 2016, the minister said there are around 10.3 crore beneficiaries, and the country has over 33 crore LPG connections. Rajiv Memani, President Designate of CII, said, 'Today, India imports over 85 per cent of its crude oil and a significant share of natural gas. Some projections suggest it may reach 90 per cent by 2030. India also imports 50–55 per cent of natural gas. This reliance underscores the urgency to diversify our energy mix, enhance domestic production, and accelerate the adoption of alternative fuels.' Puri also pointed to the growth of energy startups, breakthrough discoveries, and ongoing innovation as indicators of progress. He emphasised the need for collaboration between auto manufacturers and industry leaders to drive clean energy initiatives.

'They do it through bullets, we do it through trade': Donald Trump 'most proud' of India-Pakistan ceasefire deal
US President Donald Trump on Friday (local time) reiterated his claim that the United States mediated a ceasefire between India and Pakistan following heightened tensions earlier this month, this time linking the resolution to trade pressure. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now However, India once again firmly denied any such role by the US and dismissed suggestions that trade was used as leverage. Doubling down on his earlier statements, Trump said, 'I think the deal I'm most proud of is the fact that we're dealing with India, we're dealing with Pakistan, and we were able to stop potentially a nuclear war through trade as opposed through bullets… Normally they do it through bullets. We do it through trade. So I'm very proud of that.' Also read: Earlier today, he further claimed that American diplomacy helped avert a nuclear conflict. 'We stopped India and Pakistan from fighting. I believe that could have turned out into a nuclear disaster, and I want to thank the leaders of India and Pakistan, and I want to thank my people,' Trump said. 'We talk trade, and we say we can't trade with people who are shooting at each other and potentially using nuclear weapons… They understood and they agreed, and that all stopped. ' The ministry of external affairs (MEA), however, reiterated that the ceasefire was entirely India's sovereign decision and not the result of external pressure from the time Trump first took credit for the same. Responding to media queries about Trump's comments, the MEA stated, 'From the time Op Sindoor started on May 7 till the understanding on cessation of military action on May 10, there were conversations between Indian and US leaders on the evolving military situation. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The issue of trade did not come up in any of these discussions.' India also maintained its long-standing position on Pakistan-occupied territory. 'That stated policy has not changed. As you are aware, the outstanding matter is the vacation of illegally occupied Indian territory by Pakistan,' the MEA said. The government also rejected Trump's assertion that trade was used as a tool to prevent escalation, stressing that India's military response—Operation Sindoor—was in line with its doctrine of calibrated retaliation to terrorism. Trump's latest comments are part of a series of statements in which he has attempted to portray himself as a global peacemaker, despite Indian officials and analysts repeatedly refuting such claims.
