New Delhi. Tata Motors is currently placing a big bet on its upcoming models in India. The automaker has already introduced its 3 new models in Auto Expo 2025. Despite this, many auto lovers in the country are waiting for Avinya, which will be another sub-brand under Tata Motors and more attractive and luxury. Tata was expected to launch Avinya in early 2026, but now it seems that this new model could be launched delayed. But why?
In September 2024, Tata Motors finalized its plans for manufacturing the Electrified Modular Architecture (EMA) platform based EVs in India with Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). But, according to the recently reported news, Jaguar Land Rover has made up its mind to change its planning to produce EVS jointly with Tata Motors.
Tata Avinya’s launch delay
But what will be the effect on Avinya? Tata’s Avinya models were to be developed using JLR’s EMA platform and the EV unit of TATA had planned to ensure the order with some suppliers by the end of January. Earlier, the first model under Avinya tag was to debut in 2025, but in January this year, Tata introduced the second concept, Avinya X, and announced that it would be launched by 2026. But, now it has to be seen whether the launch is further delayed or not! As soon as Tata Motors will get confirmation, we will give more information on this.
Tata plans
JLR was planning to create new EVs in the upcoming Tata plant in India. For this, the brand had planned to source EV elements locally, but could not get the right price and quality balance. JLR allegedly held a meeting with local suppliers in Mumbai last November, in which plans to source EV components were discussed. However, due to lack of right price and quality, JLR has withdrawn its plans at the moment.
