R. D. Tata Headquarters: Mumbai Formerly: Tata Engineering and Locomotive Company Ltd. (TELCO) Number of employees: 59,000+(2022) The all-new Tata Punch CNG was unveiled at the Auto Expo 2023 and is now available in five different variants: Pure, Adventure, Adventure Rhythm, Accomplished, and Accomplished Dazzle S. The pricing for these variants ranges from INR 7.10 lakh to INR 9.68 lakh, making them approximately INR 95,000 to INR 1.60 lakhs more expensive than their petrol-powered counterparts. This marks Tata's fourth model in the CNG line-up, following the Tiago, Tigor, and Altroz. Price list of TATA Punch CNG: TATA PUNCH CNG PRICE Trims CNG price Petrol price Difference Pure Rs 7.10 lakh Rs 6.00 lakh Rs 1.10 lakh Adventure Rs 7.85 lakh Rs 6.90 lakh Rs 95,000 Adventure Rhythm Rs 8.20 lakh Rs 7.25 lakh Rs 95,000 Accomplished Rs 8.85 lakh Rs 7.75 lakh Rs 1.10 lakh Accomplished Dazzle S Rs 9.68 lakh Rs 8.65 lakh Rs 1.03 lakh Tata Punch CNG Powertrain Details The Punch CNG is powered by the same 1.2-litre, three-cylinder engine found in its petrol-powered counterpart. With petrol, this engine produces 86hp and 113Nm of torque. However, when running on CNG, it delivers slightly reduced performance, with 73.4hp and 103Nm of peak torque. The car is offered exclusively with a 5-speed manual gearbox. A unique feature of the Punch CNG is its ability to be started directly in CNG mode, something not offered by competitors like Maruti or Hyundai. The vehicle features Tata Motors' dual-cylinder setup, similar to the one seen on the Altroz CNG. It employs two smaller tanks that split the 60-litre capacity equally and are positioned beneath the boot floor, allowing for ample storage space. However, due to the CNG setup, the Punch's boot capacity is reduced to 210 litres, which is 156 litres less than its petrol-powered counterpart. Tata Punch CNG Exterior, Interior, and Features Externally, the Tata Punch CNG does not undergo any design changes, except for the addition of the 'iCNG' badge on the tailgate, similar to other Tata CNG models. Inside, there are no significant alterations in the interior design as well. In the top-spec trim, the Punch CNG is loaded with features, including a 7.0-inch touchscreen and digital driver's display, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay connectivity, 16-inch alloy wheels, an engine start/stop button, automatic climate control, automatic projector headlamps, a height-adjustable driver's seat, and even a sunroof, which is also now available on the petrol-powered Punch. Competition: Tata Punch CNG vs. Hyundai Exter The Tata Punch CNG is squarely aimed at competing with the recently launched Hyundai Exter, which comes equipped with a CNG powertrain right from its launch. For reference, the Hyundai Exter is priced between Rs 8.24 lakh to Rs 8.97 lakh (ex-showroom, Mumbai). Both vehicles offer customers an option to choose an environmentally friendly CNG-powered variant.
