Kerala MVD gets 65 Tata Nexon Electric SUVs: India’s FASTEST law enforcement vehicle

In a ceremony held in Thiruvananthapuram, the first batch of 45 Tata Nexon EVs were delivered to Kerala Motor Vehicle Department. The Nexon EV is the FASTEST car that Tata has launched in India, with a 0-100 Kph timing of under 10 seconds. This also makes the Nexon Electric SUV a great choice for law enforcement agencies, who can quickly catch up with fleeing violators.

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Shailesh Chandra, President – Passenger Vehicle Business Unit, Tata Motors, said,

The Kerala Govt. has been at the forefront of initiating several measures to enhance public safety. We are grateful to ANERT for driving this initiative on behalf of the Kerala Government and look forward to a fruitful partnership with them and MVD.  We are indeed proud that the Nexon EV is their preferred choice for the ‘Safe Kerala’ special project on road safety. The Nexon EV has emerged as India’s best-selling electric car, commanding a 63% market share in the personal EV segment and through these orders we are hopeful that we will continue to lead the market.
