Mumbai, 5 May 2026: Celebrating 21 years of the iconic Tata Ace, Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, today marked a key milestone in last-mile mobility with the launch of the all-new Tata Ace Gold+ XL. Thoughtfully evolved for higher payloads and longer body applications, the new variant extends the Ace portfolio to meet the changing needs of last-mile logistics. The Ace Gold+ XL carries forward the legacy of a nameplate that reshaped small cargo movement in India and continues to support the aspirations of a growing and diverse entrepreneur base.

To mark the milestone, Tata Motors has also rolled out the ‘Ikkis Saal Bemisaal’ campaign—a nationwide initiative celebrating the entrepreneurs who have built their livelihoods with the ‘Chota Haathi’ at the heart of their businesses. The campaign brings together customer-centric initiatives, including additional benefits of up to ₹21,000 for women entrepreneurs, reinforcing Tata Motors’ long-standing commitment to inclusive growth.  

Launching the new model, Mr. Pinaki Haldar, Vice President & Business Head – SCVPU, Tata Motors Ltd., said, “With the launch of the all-new Ace Gold+ XL, Tata Motors advances the next chapter of India’s most transformative commercial vehicle—one that continues to evolve to meet the needs of modern intra-city and last-mile logistics. Extending the Ace’s relevance into higher-load applications, the Ace Gold+ XL is designed to deliver greater efficiency, reliability, and pride of ownership for today’s entrepreneurs.

Launched in 2005, the Tata Ace pioneered India’s four-wheel small commercial vehicle category, and redefined last-mile logistics by enabling entrepreneurship at scale. The Ace’s enduring relevance is reflected in an industry-first milestone: for 21 years, one Ace has been sold every 4.25 minutes—earning the trust, respect, and loyalty of over 26 lakh owners across the country.”

All-New Tata Ace Gold+ XL: More Load. More Earnings. More Value.

The Ace Gold+ XL has been engineered to directly improve owner profitability. With a longer 8-foot load body and a 1-tonne payload capacity, it enables higher cargo volume per trip—translating into better utilisation and stronger earning potential across demanding delivery cycles.

Powered by advanced Lean NOx Trap (LNT) technology, the Ace Gold+ XL eliminates the need for Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF), reducing both operating complexity and maintenance effort. The result is a lower Total Cost of Ownership, improved uptime, and greater peace of mind—key considerations for entrepreneurs who rely on their vehicle every day. The Ace Gold+ XL is powered by a 700cc turbocharged diesel engine, delivering 22 PS of power and 55 Nm of torque—engineered for consistent, dependable performance across demanding last-mile operations.

Together, these enhancements make the Ace Gold+ XL a compelling upgrade for existing Ace owners and a strong entry point for new entrepreneurs joining India’s fast-growing last-mile ecosystem.  

Backed by a Strong SCV Ecosystem

The Tata Ace Gold+ XL is supported by Tata Motors’ comprehensive small commercial vehicle ecosystem. The company’s portfolio—spanning Ace Pro, Ace, Intra, and Yodha—serves payload requirements from 750 kg to 2 tonnes and is available across diesel, petrol, CNG, bi-fuel, and electric powertrains.

This is complemented by Sampoorna Seva 2.0, Tata Motors’ end-to-end lifecycle support programme, along with a nationwide network of 2,500+ service and spares outlets and the Star Guru ecosystem of trained technicians—ensuring customers are supported at every stage of ownership.

With the all-new Ace Gold+ XL, Tata Motors reinforces its commitment to powering India’s entrepreneurial growth—carrying forward a legacy that has shaped livelihoods, strengthened logistics, and delivered progress, one journey at a time.

Mumbai, 7 April 2026: Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, today strengthened its leadership in electric commercial mobility with the launch of the all-new Tata Intra EV Pickup. Expanding its electric small commercial vehicle portfolio, the new pickup brings together the proven strengths of the trusted Intra platform with a purpose-built electric architecture—delivering a dependable, highearning solution for India’s evolving cargo requirements. It will be available across Tata Motors’ commercial vehicle dealerships nationwide, at an unmatched starting price of Rs. 11.95 lakh (ex-showroom).

Launching the Tata Intra EV Pickup, Mr. Girish Wagh, Managing Director & CEO, Tata Motors Ltd., said “Our commitment to green mobility is focused on delivering sustainable solutions that are proven at scale and relevant to India’s diverse commercial mobility needs. Building on the strong market response to our electric minitrucks and the successful deployment of our electric buses serving commuters across 10 cities nationwide, we rolled out our nextgeneration electric trucks earlier this year and are now advancing further with the launch of electric pickups. Through this progression, Tata Motors has established the country’s most comprehensive electric commercial vehicle portfolio across segments. This momentum is being enabled by progressive Government policies and strong collaboration across customers, partners and suppliers, accelerating India’s transition to cleaner and more sustainable mobility.”

Shaped by deep insights from real world operations and engineered for demanding duty cycles, the Intra EV Pickup introduces electric capability into one of the country’s most versatile pickups. It enables operators to move heavier loads, run longer routes and operate with greater confidence, while benefiting from lower operating costs and a reduced environmental footprint.

Speaking about the Tata Intra EV Pickup, Mr. Pinaki Haldar, Vice President & Business Head – SCVPU, Tata Motors Ltd., said,“The all-new Intra EV Pickup has been developed with a clear focus on earning capability and everyday usability, combining one of the highest payload capacities in its segment with strong performance, long range and high uptime, all at a segment-beating price. Its comfortable, crashtested cabin, carlike driving dynamics and thoughtfully integrated features are designed to reduce fatigue and improve productivity across long operating hours. As adoption of cleaner technologies accelerates, Tata Motors remains committed to raising industry benchmarks and making electric cargo mobility a practical, confident choice for businesses.”

Designed to Earn, Built to Endure

At the heart of the Intra EV Pickup is a clear focus on productivity and profitability. With a 1,750 kg payload and long load body options of up to 10ft 2in, the vehicle supports a broad spectrum of applications—from FMCG and ecommerce to cold-chain, waste management, LPG and dairy distribution—enabling higher load per trip and better asset utilisation.

 

A 72kW electric motor producing 230 Nm of peak torque delivers strong pulling power even under full load, while 23% gradeability ensures seamless operations on challenging terrain. The 28.2 kWh, IP67rated battery, engineered for Indian weather and usage conditions, offers a certified range of 211 km on a single charge, supporting multiple duty cycles through the day. Fast charging capability, with CCS2 charger, enables 10-80% charging in ~55 minutes, maximising uptime.

Backed by a 6year / 2 lakh km HV battery warranty, the Intra EV Pickup is designed to deliver dependable performance over the long term, bringing predictability and peace of mind to electric operations.

Smarter Technology for Safer, More Efficient Operations

Safety is integral to the Intra EV’s design. A dedicated Electronic Braking System enhances vehicle stability and braking efficiency, while three-level regenerative braking improves energy recovery during deceleration, contributing to extended realworld range.

The Intra EV comes with Tata Motors Fleet Edge, providing real-time vehicle tracking, health monitoring and predictive maintenance insights—helping fleet owners improve uptime, manage costs and operate with greater transparency.

Comfort that Supports Productivity

Recognising the long hours spent behind the wheel, the Intra EV Pickup is equipped with a walkthrough cabin, carlike ergonomics and Electric Power Assisted Steering (EPAS) that significantly reduces steering effort. The inherently low noise and vibration of the electric drivetrain creates a quieter, less fatiguing cabin environment—supporting driver focus, comfort and overall wellbeing.

An Ecosystem That Removes Barriers

The Intra EV Pickup is supported by Tata Motors’ expanding electric vehicle ecosystem, including over 25,000 charging points nationwide, 200+ dedicated EV service centres, and facilitated homecharging solutions. In partnership with leading banks and NBFCs, Tata Motors also offers customised financing options, flexible EMIs and quick approvals—making the transition to electric both accessible and assured.

Joining the Ace EV 1000 and Ace Pro EV, the Intra EV Pickup strengthens Tata Motors’ comprehensive electric small commercial vehicle portfolio—built to support India’s entrepreneurs, drivers and fleet owners in building more efficient businesses and a more sustainable future.
