PluginIndia's Take
We still feel the lease prices are way too expensive. In Mumbai, we have to shell out Rs 11,30,400 for a 3 year lease and at the end of the third year you won't even own the car.
We feel this lease scheme may be attractive for corporate fleets who drive 80 km per day and can save money on fuel. Also this can be a good try before you buy option for individuals.
If the idea is to give the consumer a taste of EV ownership and tell them that they don't need to keep the car after 12 or 24 or 36 months, this might encourage people who are on the fence to use an electric car. And on the face value, Rs 11.3 lakhs, is not a small amount and will not encourage too many people. But we also feel this might also be a way for Tata to pass on the FAME 2 incentives to lessees.
Ultimately this subscription plan still seems expensive to us.
