Tata Nexon EV is a 5‑seat, all‑electric hatchback that sits right in the middle of India’s compact‑EV market. It packs a 30 kWh battery, giving a WLTP range of 312 km on a full charge and a peak power of 120 hp.
The Delhi government’s winter action plan, set to run from 1 Nov 2026 to 31 Jan 2027, will bar any vehicle registered outside the capital that doesn’t meet BS‑VI standards. That means a Nexon EV, being BS‑VI compliant, can move freely in and out of Delhi. Buyers who own older BS‑IV or non‑BS‑VI cars will need to either upgrade or face a temporary halt at the border.
Fuel stations across Delhi will enforce a "No PUC, No Fuel" rule. A valid Pollution Under Control certificate is now a must‑have for every vehicle. While this adds a small extra step for diesel and petrol users, EVs sidestep the whole issue because they have no tailpipe emissions to certify.
In the same price bracket, the MG ZS EV starts at ₹29.99 lakh and offers a 430‑km range, while the Hyundai Kona EV is priced similarly but delivers 460 km. The Nexon’s lower price point makes it a strong pick for city commuters who want a reliable range without paying a premium.
For the next three months, Delhi’s transport authorities will double parking fees at municipal lots to discourage private car use. EV owners, however, enjoy a smoother ride through the city because they’re exempt from the fuel station restrictions and the BS‑VI entry ban.
If you’re eyeing an electric vehicle for Delhi’s upcoming winter season, the Nexon’s affordability, solid range, and BS‑VI compliance make it a practical choice. Keep an eye on the November 1 start of the ban and ensure your vehicle’s PUC is up to date if you still plan to use a petrol or diesel car outside the city.
