Tata to launch new compact SUV, 7 new cars to come by 2030

India Today13 hours ago
Tata Motors is gearing up to broaden its SUV portfolio in India with an all-new compact SUV, codenamed Scarlet. Among seven new nameplates the homegrown automaker plans to roll out by 2030, the Scarlet will compete in the fiercely competitive compact SUV segment.Scarlet is expected to bring a boxy, upright stance inspired by the design language of the upcoming Tata Sierra, making it distinct from the more curvaceous Nexon. Though official details remain under wraps, the Scarlet is expected to support multiple powertrain options. These could include:1.2-litre turbo-petrol from the Nexon (120bhp)1.2-litre direct-injection turbo-petrol from the Curvv (125bhp)A new 1.5-litre naturally aspirated petrolA possible diesel optionadvertisementTata is also reportedly considering an all-electric version of the Scarlet, which could feature motors on both axles to offer an AWD setup. While this could provide enhanced traction for adventurous buyers, an AWD version of the internal combustion variant is unlikely due to cost and packaging limitations.
The Scarlet will slot into the highly competitive compact SUV space, already populated by Tata's own Punch and Nexon. Despite the overlap, Tata intends to differentiate the Scarlet by targeting a different buyer persona, likely leaning towards those seeking a bolder, lifestyle-oriented design.Prices for the Scarlet are expected to overlap with the Nexon range, currently priced between Rs 8 lakh and Rs 15.6 lakh for the ICE version, and Rs 12.49 lakh to Rs 17.19 lakh for the EV (all prices are ex-showroom). Tata is likely to fine-tune the pricing strategy to avoid cannibalisation while appealing to new customer segments.Alongside Scarlet, Tata Motors is reportedly also preparing to expand its EV lineup with two more sub-4-metre all-electric models: codenamed Kuno and Terra. These models align with Tata's broader EV strategy of offering two options per segment: entry-level, mid-level, and premium, ensuring a comprehensive EV portfolio by the end of the decade.While the Scarlet is still some time away, Tata Motors has officially confirmed that the much-awaited Sierra will launch later this year. Speaking at the recent Harrier.ev launch, Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer at Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, announced that the Sierra will debut in both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electric versions within the current calendar year. This confirmation puts an end to speculation about its launch timeline. "The Sierra will definitely come out this calendar year, and it'll be both in ICE and EV form," said Srivatsa.The iconic Tata Sierra is set to make a modern-day comeback, redesigned for contemporary buyers. It will feature bold styling, advanced technology, and the flexibility of dual powertrains, bringing the legendary nameplate into the modern era.A near-production version of the Sierra was recently displayed at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2025, giving enthusiasts a glimpse of what's to come. Additionally, latest spy shots of test mules have revealed new insights into the SUV's design language, features, and potential engine options, building anticipation ahead of its return to Indian roads.Subscribe to Auto Today Magazine- Ends

Min: 85% of MOUs inked at Davos being implemented

Mumbai: Industries minister Uday Samant on Monday said implementation is underway of 85-87% of the Rs 15.7-lakh crore MOUs signed by the state govt at the World Economic Forum in Davos in Jan, making Maharashtra among the most favoured investment destinations. "We have allotted land in 15 MoUs. Land will be allotted to seven companies in the next few days. Twenty companies didn't like the land we offered them. So, we are offering them other parcels of land as 'pass through'. Of the total MoUs, only four are not in the initial stage," he said in the assembly. He said the projects are expected to generate 16 lakh jobs. Officials said 85% of the MoUs have been converted into actual investments; India's average stands at 40%.

Rs 181cr STP project cancelled in Ahmedabad's Sarkhej, re-tendering ordered

Ahmedabad: The Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation's water and sewerage committee has cancelled a major sewage treatment project worth Rs 181.45 crore following concerns over the contractor's performance record. In a committee meeting held on Monday, the officials decided to cancel the proposal to construct a sewage pumping station and sewage treatment plant (STP) on 40,000 sq m of land in the Fatehwadi area of Sarkhej ward. The committee has now directed that fresh tenders be issued for the project. The contractor was previously given a work order to construct the Jaspur water treatment plant, but it delayed the work by a year. Moreover, there were quality issues, prompting a vigilance inquiry. So, it was decided to cancel the existing proposal. Water and sewerage committee chairman Dilip Bagaria said, "We are constructing a new water treatment facility alongside the Rs 100-crore Jaspur water treatment plant, work on which has been delayed by a year. Initially, we considered giving the contract for the Rs 181 crore STP project to the same company that is working on the Jaspur facility."
