After months of slowed sales, the Indian automotive industry has finally started to show some growth, thanks to the hefty discounts manufacturers have been offering. Amid the list of the top-five vehicles in August, the Tata Punch has been one of the Indian automaker’s hero products. With its compact design, raised chassis, and aggressive pricing, the Punch has been the first choice for many first-time buyers.
Tata Punch 2024 Facelift: Launch Timeline
Very soon, the Tata is coming up with a Punch facelift. The new model will continue the hype around the model while adding some good-to-have features. We’ve heard the Punch could come out in the first or second week of October. However, it would be a high-stakes bet for Tata Motors, and hence, the company could make any last-minute changes to prepone the launch event.
Once Tata announces the vehicle, it could be a few weeks before it is available. Meanwhile, the company could open car bookings by charging a token amount. Given that all the Tata cars (except Curvv) are available at a discounted price at the moment, there’s a good chance that the Punch facelift will also launch with aggressive pricing.

Then there’s the new Accomplished + model, which will get a new 10.25-inch infotainment screen. This could be the same screen we’ve seen on the new Nexon and the higher trims of Punch EV.
