Reacting to the sudden price hike by the company, Tata’s, managing director, Shailesh Chandra said that the main reason the firm took the decision for increasing the price of Tiago EV because the battery rates have become expensive by 30-35 percent due to which the company had to take the decision.
Chandra also mentioned that with the growing demand for EV vehicles and shortage of semiconductor chips, the usual waiting period on four-wheelers has increased by months. In order to combat such problems, the company soon will come up with some ideas so that customers do not have to wait for long to get the deliveries of their vehicles. He also informed us that those customers who booked the vehicles in September will start getting deliveries by the start of the next year.
