Electric car discounts in October 2026 reach ₹3.35 lakh on the Tata Curvv EV (pre-SeriesX stock), followed by ₹2.75 lakh on the Tata Harrier EV and ₹1.45 lakh on the outgoing Tiago EV and Punch EV. Reports also list ₹75,000 on the Kia Carens Clavis EV and up to ₹65,000 on the Hyundai Creta Electric, while MG ZS EV cash offers of ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.15 lakh are reported at dealer level. Most reports give 31 October 2026 as the end date, so we have about five days left.

Tata EV Offers: Curvv, Harrier, Punch, Tiago and Nexon
Tata has the widest EV discount list this month, and its biggest numbers sit on older stock. The Curvv EV's ₹3.35 lakh applies to variants sold before the May 2026 SeriesX update.
| Model and variant | Maximum benefit | What to know |
| Curvv EV (pre-SeriesX, except Creative) | ₹3.35 lakh | Largest EV offer of the month |
| Curvv EV Creative (pre-SeriesX) | ₹2.85 lakh | Lower than other pre-SeriesX trims |
| Curvv EV SeriesX | Up to ₹65,000 | Reported by a single source, so confirm with the dealer |
| Harrier EV Fearless+ and Empowered | ₹2.75 lakh | ₹1 lakh intervention offer, up to ₹75,000 exchange or scrappage, up to ₹1 lakh loyalty |
| Harrier EV Adventure | ₹2.5 lakh | ₹75,000 intervention offer |
| Harrier EV Empowered AWD Stealth 75 ACFC | ₹2.25 lakh | Excluded from the Fearless+ and Empowered offer |
| Tiago EV (outgoing LR XT) | ₹1.45 lakh | Includes a ₹50,000 intervention offer |
| Punch EV (outgoing Long Range) | ₹1.45 lakh | Redesigned 40 kWh car is not in the schedule |
| Nexon EV | ₹45,000 | All variants, smallest benefit in the range |
The Harrier EV offer leans on loyalty. Its ₹1 lakh loyalty bonus is aimed at buyers moving from another Tata EV, so a first-time EV buyer will not see the full figure.

Hyundai Creta Electric Offers
Hyundai lists two tiers on the Creta Electric, which is priced from ₹18.03 lakh to ₹25.07 lakh ex-showroom.
| Creta Electric stock | Reported benefit |
| Select Smart(O) and Excellence LR HC stock | ₹65,000 |
| Other variants | ₹50,000 |
Reports describe Hyundai's October programme as a mix of cash discounts, scrappage and exchange bonuses, a Navratri booking bonus and upgrade benefits, but we did not find a split for the Creta Electric. One report adds that fresh bookings recorded up to 10 October and balance bookings are covered, with retail from 1 to 31 October. Other reports do not mention a booking cutoff, so we treat it as unconfirmed. Ask your dealer before you rely on it.
Kia Carens Clavis EV and Syros EV Offers
Kia gives the Carens Clavis EV up to ₹75,000 on every trim, priced from ₹18.04 lakh to ₹25 lakh ex-showroom. The package is made up of ₹20,000 each as exchange, loyalty and scrappage benefits plus a corporate offer of up to ₹15,000. There is no cash discount on the Clavis EV.
For comparison, reports put the Clavis EV at ₹55,000 in September 2026, built from the same loyalty, corporate and exchange or scrappage pieces. The Syros EV gets only a ₹20,000 scrappage benefit this month.

MG ZS EV Offers
The MG ZS EV is priced at ₹17.99 lakh to ₹20.75 lakh ex-showroom, and dealer-level cash offers are reported at ₹1.80 lakh to ₹2.15 lakh, valid until 31 October. These are not an MG announcement. MG has not confirmed that the ZS EV is being discontinued, and reports about a 2027 replacement are not official.
What the Offer Types Mean
Every "up to" figure is a bundle. Knowing the pieces tells you what you personally can claim.
| Offer type | What it is | Who gets it |
| Cash discount | Straight price cut | Everyone, subject to variant and stock |
| Intervention offer | One-off support Tata adds on specific variants | Everyone on eligible variants |
| Exchange bonus | Extra value for trading in your old car | Buyers handing over a car |
| Scrappage benefit | Bonus for scrapping an old vehicle | Buyers with a scrappable car |
| Loyalty bonus | Reward for existing brand owners | Existing owners of that brand |
| Corporate offer | Discount for employees of listed companies | Eligible employees |
Mid-Size EV and MPV Offers Compared
Offers look bigger on a headline than on a price tag. This table compares the four mid-size EVs and MPVs with the highest offers against their starting prices.
| Model | Starting price (ex-showroom) | Top reported benefit | Share of starting price (Evfy's calculation) |
| Tata Harrier EV | ₹21.79 lakh | ₹2.75 lakh | 12.6% |
| MG ZS EV | ₹17.99 lakh | ₹2.15 lakh (dealer-level) | 12.0% |
| Kia Carens Clavis EV | ₹18.04 lakh | ₹75,000 | 4.2% |
| Hyundai Creta Electric | ₹18.03 lakh | ₹65,000 | 3.6% |
These are ceilings. The biggest offers sit on higher-priced variants, so the real share on the car you buy will usually be lower.
Which Offer Suits Which Buyer
| If you are... | Look at | Why |
| An existing Tata EV owner upgrading | Harrier EV | The ₹1 lakh EV to EV loyalty bonus is the largest piece |
| After the lowest sticker price on a coupe-SUV | Curvv EV (pre-SeriesX) | Highest benefit, but it is older stock |
| On a tight budget | Tiago EV or Punch EV (outgoing) | ₹1.45 lakh off, but only outgoing versions qualify |
| Wanting a three-row EV | Kia Carens Clavis EV | ₹75,000, with no cash component |
| A first-time EV buyer without an old car | Models with cash discounts | Exchange, scrappage and loyalty pieces will not apply to you |
What works in your favour this month: deep discounts on older stock, loyalty money for existing owners and a Tata offer structure that has not shifted much since September.
What works against you: cash discounts are thin on the Clavis EV and Harrier EV, several offers depend on trading in an old car, and the window closes on 31 October.
What We Could Not Verify
We did not find October 2026 offer sheets for the Mahindra XUV400, BE 6 and XEV 9e, the MG Windsor EV and Comet EV, the Citroen eC3 or BYD models, so we have left them out rather than guess. The Hyundai Creta Electric offer split and the Curvv EV SeriesX figure each come from limited reports.
Evfy's Take
Tata's October offers are not new. The headline figures of ₹3.35 lakh on the Curvv EV and ₹2.75 lakh on the Harrier EV match what was reported for September. Kia's Clavis EV benefit actually rose from ₹55,000 to ₹75,000 between September and October, according to reports.
Here is our own arithmetic, not a figure from any carmaker: against starting prices, the Harrier EV and ZS EV offers are about three times the share that the Clavis EV and Creta Electric offers represent (12.6% and 12.0% against 4.2% and 3.6%).
The timing matters too. Dhanteras falls on 6 November and Diwali on 8 November 2026, but these October offers end on 31 October. Whether a new November sheet will match them is unconfirmed, so a buyer planning a Diwali delivery should get a written quote before the month ends.
