Upcoming electric cars in India from December 2026 into 2027 and beyond: Tata Safari EV, Mercedes GLC Electric, Mahindra Thar.e, Tata Altroz EV and more.
EV launches are speeding up
India's electric car line-up is set to grow sharply between late 2026 and 2027, according to launch calendars compiled by EVmovz and car portals. Dates and prices are estimates.
Late 2026
- Mahindra Thar.e – November 2026 – about ₹25 lakh (expected)
- Tata Safari EV – December 2026 – about ₹32 lakh (expected)
- Mercedes-Benz GLC Electric – mid-December 2026 (expected)
The Thar.e is expected to bring a five-door, dual-motor layout on Mahindra's INGLO platform, while the Safari EV would be Tata's first three-row EV.
2027 and beyond
CarWale lists the Tata Altroz EV with a tentative January 2028 date at ₹12–15 lakh, and portals mention more affordable compact EVs from Hyundai, Kia and others. CarDekho's December list also references several rumoured December 2027 EVs.
What EV buyers should check
- Real-world range, not only claimed range
- Charging speed and home-charger cost
- Battery warranty length
- State EV subsidies and road-tax waivers
Should you wait?
If you mostly drive in the city, current EVs may already suit you. If you need a seven-seater or off-roader, waiting for the Safari EV or Thar.e could make sense.
