After months of rumours, we finally have proof that this is true. I recently captured a spy shot of an electric version of the Tata Punch being towed by a flatbed. Team-BHP reports that this latest Tata Punch EV test mule was spotted near Lonavala Hill Station in Maharashtra.

You can’t tell from the photos that there’s much difference in appearance, but discerning observers will notice that this particular test mule has an extra rear disc brake. This option is not available for ICE iterations of punch. This additional braking equipment is believed to have been added to support the extra weight created by the car’s heavy battery and motor. The report also states that the Test Mule didn’t have a conventional exhaust system, which is another big piece of evidence that this is an electric version of the Punch.
