Every leading automotive company in India, including Tata Motors, suffered the consequences of the global semiconductor shortage. Combined with the increased demand after the pandemic, it has skyrocketed the waiting period for Tata cars, especially the Indian OEM's EV lineup.
For instance, the Tata Nexon EV waiting period is the longest at 8 to 20 weeks, depending on the variant you choose. If you have your eyes set on a Tata car, here's what you should know about their waiting period-

Built on the country's first 5-star rated Nexon platform, Nexon EV has an ARAI-certified range of 312kms on a full charge. The popular compact SUV has a 30.2kWh li-ion battery with a fast charging feature that allows you to charge it from 0% to 80% in about an hour.
