Punch is based on the H2X concept, which Tata Motors had showcased at the Auto Expo 2020. It will be positioned below the company's compact SUV Nexon.
The company plans to launch the model on October 20, and has commenced bookings on its website and sales network across the country for Rs 21,000.
The Punch, which would sit below Nexon in the company's product line up, comes with a 1.2 litre petrol engine mated to both manual and automatic transmissions.
