Why it matters

More capacity can improve availability as EV demand grows. Buyers should also watch pricing because Tata has warned that rising input costs are putting pressure on passenger-vehicle margins.

What changed

Tata Motors told Reuters that it has doubled its electric-car production capacity to more than 16,000 units per month as demand shifts toward lower-running-cost vehicles. Electric models now represent 21% of Tata's India car sales, compared with 14% a year earlier.

What buyers should know

Higher production capacity can support wider availability and shorter waiting periods.
Tata also indicated that commodity and logistics costs remain under pressure.
A future price increase was described as possible, but no timing or model-wise amount was announced.
