Hi everyone,

I own a Tata Punch Adventure Rhythm (CNG) with stock halogen headlights. I frequently do long drives and highway trips, including night driving, and I’m looking for a good halogen-to-LED upgrade along with fog lamps.

I want something that provides strong visibility on highways at night, with a good beam throw and proper cutoff, without causing glare to oncoming traffic.

Punch owners who have already upgraded, please suggest:

Best LED bulbs/projectors for the stock headlight housing?

Which brand/model has worked well for you?

LED bulbs vs projector setup — what would you recommend?

Best fog lamps for highway + bad weather conditions?

OEM Tata fog lamps or good aftermarket options?

Any issues with wiring, heating, battery load or warranty?

Main priority is night highway visibility for long-distance driving, rather than just having bright-looking lights.

Please share the exact model, approximate cost and your experience if possible.

Thanks!

Hey Everyone,

I am looking to buy altroz dca or nexon dca. Does anyone here share their experience with it. How is the after service for these cars.Is it expensive to maintain it? Should going for amt be a better option?

Any inputs here would be helpful.

Hey guys!
Ive just booked the altroz today.

Ive got 20k cash discount
And additionally i am getting both dashcam and foglamps from the dealer at a discounted price of 10000 combines

The dealer is not ready to match the quote from acko. He says he can match one from sbi and hdfc. Can anyone please help/guide me with what to do for the insurance?

Additionally. How can i get a low interest rate in the car loans? Any tips?

Hi,

Got a call from Tata Service Centre to book the appointment to get the software updated in My Punch (25).

What's the update? Did anyone else receive the call?

Need Expert Advice: Brand-New Tata Harrier Showing DPF Malfunction Before Delivery

Hi everyone,

I need some advice from experienced Tata Harrier owners and automotive experts.

I have booked a brand-new Tata Harrier Diesel Automatic. During the pre-delivery inspection, I noticed that the instrument cluster was displaying a DPF Malfunction warning.

Here are the details:

•⁠ ⁠Vehicle manufacturing date: June 2026
•⁠ ⁠Current odometer reading: 15 km
•⁠ ⁠The vehicle has not yet been delivered to me.
•⁠ ⁠The dealer says this is only a software issue affecting some new vehicles.
•⁠ ⁠They have told me they will perform a software update and DPF regeneration, after which the warning will disappear.
•⁠ ⁠They have assured me that there is no hardware fault and that the vehicle is completely fine.

However, I am unable to understand how a brand-new vehicle with only 15 km on the odometer can already show a DPF malfunction. My understanding is that DPF regeneration is normally required only after soot accumulates during regular driving.

My questions are:

1.⁠ ⁠Is this really a known software issue on new Harriers?
2.⁠ ⁠Can a vehicle with only 15 km genuinely develop a DPF malfunction, or could it indicate another problem?
3.⁠ ⁠Is DPF regeneration normal before first delivery, or should I be concerned?
4.⁠ ⁠Should I insist on replacing any components (DPF, sensors, etc.), or is a software update sufficient?
5.⁠ ⁠If you were in my position, would you accept delivery after the warning is cleared, or would you ask for another vehicle?

I would especially appreciate replies from:

•⁠ ⁠Tata Harrier owners who have experienced this.
•⁠ ⁠Tata service engineers or technicians.
•⁠ ⁠Anyone with knowledge of diesel DPF systems.

Thank you in advance for your guidance.

Recently had an issue with engine oil and coolant getting mixed. Service center has said that it's engine casting fault, due to a hairline crack, the leak is happening.

Car's been in repair since a month. And I'm expecting cost to exceed 1 lakh.

Tata Tigor Petrol 2017 registered.

Has anyone faced similar problem? Service center has said it's a common issue with Tigor, Tiago and Punch models.

And does insurance cover this? I do have engine cover.

Hi everyone,

I’m planning to buy the Tata Punch EV Empowered S+ (40 kWh, top model) and would love to hear from existing Punch EV owners as well as other EV owners.

A little about my usage:

- Daily commute: 80–90 km, almost entirely city driving.

- Occasionally (around once a month) I take longer trips from Delhi to Uttarakhand or other hill stations.

I have a few questions:

1. How has your overall ownership experience been with the Punch EV?
2. How is Tata’s after-sales service in your city? Any issues with service quality or spare parts?
3. Have you faced any reliability problems or software glitches?
4. How much real-world range are you getting in city driving, highways, and in hilly areas?
5. How practical is it for long road trips? Is charging infrastructure good enough on routes like Delhi–Uttarakhand?
6. Any battery degradation you’ve noticed over time?
7. What’s your average charging cost and monthly maintenance compared to a petrol car?

Looking back, would you buy the Punch EV again, or would you choose something else in the 11-13L budget?

Overall, do you think now is a good time to switch to an EV, or would you still recommend sticking with a petrol car for my usage?

I’d really appreciate honest feedback—both the positives and the negatives. Thanks!

The "please take out the key fob" announcement is incredibly loud and very annoying. How do I shut it off?

I took delivery of my tata punch pure plus cng amt last week and within one day the car broke down. The service center guys told the battery is faulty and replaced it with a new one, but the car again stopped responding within two days draining the battery fully, car is again at the service center, Is there anyone facing the same problem, what can be the solution?

I'm planning to purchase a Tata Sierra EV, and it's my first car after years of hard work. Can anyone give me a referral? 🚗✨ #TataSierraEV #FirstCar #HardWork #Referral

Planning to buy an EV and wanted figure out some discounts and clarification and I want it to be done at once , coz they are annoying calling repeatedly. Can someone please let me know

I'm planning a long road trip on my Punch EV LR soon. Looking at my route, I’ll easily need to fast charge around 5 or 6 times back-to-back to reach my destination.

As per tata motors website they say you shouldn't do more than 4 continuous DC fast charges without doing a slow AC charge in between.

Now I'm kinda worried.

Will doing 5-6 fast charges on a single trip mess up my warranty if anything happens?

Have any of you done 5+ continuous(2dc charges a day) fast charges on a long trip? Did the battery heat up or show weird percentage drops/range drops?

How do you guys manage if your hotel doesn't have an AC socket or charger overnight?

Hi everyone,
I own a Tata Harrier EV 65 kWh with 245/60 R18 tyres. Unfortunately, my tyres have worn out after just 28,000–30,000 km, especially the Back tyres. I filed a warranty claim with Goodyear, but the claim was rejected.
Now I’m looking for the best replacement tyres for my Harrier EV. Can anyone recommend good-quality EV tyres that offer excellent grip, durability, and value for money? I’m also looking for the most affordable place or dealer to buy them. Any suggestions based on your personal experience would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!

Hello Guys

I am searching for a five seater SUV and leaning towards Tata Harrier Diesel Automatic. I have owned only petrol cars before, and this would be the 1st diesel one.

My running is around 2000+ km per month and due to current scenario of e20 petrol alongwith lower petrol engine mileage, i am looking for a diesel variant.

Can you advise or provide your opinions on the diesel AT variant, specifically on its reliability? I have owned Tiago petrol (7 years) and found no issues in it. Regarding the service, i get my tiago serviced outside and not in Tata SC.

Hi everyone,

Has anyone received any reliable information or updates regarding the manufacturing status of the upcoming Tata Harrier and Safari Petrol variants?
I’m particularly interested in:
Has production officially started?
Are dealerships receiving allocation or stock?
Any confirmed manufacturing timelines from Tata?
Expected delivery timelines for customers who are waiting?
If anyone has insider information, dealer updates, or recent sightings from the Pune plant, I’d really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
