In other Tata news, the homegrown automaker recently unveiled the Avinya EV concept. The new EV is built on Tata’s new Gen 3 platform for pure electric vehicles, which will be available in the near future. The production-spec cars will be available in 2025, based on the Gen 3 platform. These cars are intended to have a driving range of more than 500 kilometres.

In Sanskrit, Avinya denotes “invention.” The design resembles a cross between an MPV and a hatchback. It gets a redesigned version of the Tata logo, which serves as the vehicle’s new identity. Furthermore, it defines the sheer breadth of the Avinya EV while also serving as an LED Daytime Running Lamp. Having said that, the new emblem is not likely to appear on the new automobiles.

Avinya’s design is distinctive and appealing. It has a dual-tone finish of copper and black. Since it is an electric car, there is no front grille and the front bonnet steepens significantly and creates the A-pillar. There are no standard rearview mirrors on the outside of the vehicle, instead, it comes with the cameras. On the sides, there are diamond-cut alloy wheels and a slot in the door sills.

The Avinya EV is 4.3 metres long, however, the cabin room is much larger while having the same footprint. The Gen 3 platform is just a skateboard platform, with the batteries installed on the floorboard. The batteries are also resistant to dust and water. Tata Motors has said that they would offer a variety of cars based on this platform, with varying body styles and driving ranges and will be changed dependent on demand.
