If you're thinking of buying an electric car on a budget, here are the five cheapest options in India that offer great value and range. Let's dive into the details.
The Tiago EV is considered the most balanced electric hatchback in the budget segment. It offers a great mix of price (starts at ₹7.99 lakh), range (claimed 315 km), and practicality, making it a smart choice for those upgrading from a petrol car.
The MG Comet EV is currently India's most affordable electric car, starting at just ₹7.50 lakh. Its compact size is perfect for crowded city streets. The tech-savvy cabin with a dual-screen setup and easy driving make it stand out. If you mainly drive in the city, this is a great entry-level EV with a claimed range of 230 km.

Tata Punch EV

The Tata Punch EV now comes with a bigger battery and longer range (365 km to 468 km, ARAI claimed). The BaaS (Battery-as-a-Service) model has brought its starting price down to ₹6.49 lakh. Its high driving position and rugged look give it a more premium, SUV-like feel than a hatchback.
If you're looking for an electric sedan, the Tigor EV is a solid choice. Its 3-box design offers more boot space, which is great for family use. With a comfortable cabin and reliable performance, it's a value-for-money EV starting at ₹12.49 lakh with a claimed range of 315 km.

If your budget is around ₹7-8 lakh, the MG Comet and Tata Tiago are great. For an SUV look and more range, the Punch or Nexon EV are better. If you prefer a sedan, the Tigor EV is the right pick.
