Amid the rising tension of ethanol-blended fuel, Tata Motors has come up with a solution. The brand has reportedly been working on a flex-fuel model and is expected to launch by the end of this year or in early 2027.

Tata Punch Flex Fuel
At present, the brand has not specified which model will come first; however, we expect it to be the Tata Punch flex-fuel model. It was showcased back at Bharat Mobility Auto Show in 2024. The major highlight of the flex fuel version was its 1.2-litre petrol engine, producing 86 bhp and 115 Nm. This engine can run on an E100 blend, making it more fuel-efficient and eco-friendly. Transmission duties are handled by a 5-speed manual and AMT gearbox options. Alongside the flex-fuel engine, the model will be available with a 1.2-litre NA petrol engine, a 1.2-litre turbo petrol engine, and an iCNG version.
While Nitin Gadkari-led MoRTH is looking to increase the ethanol blending to more than 20%, this move can help Tata to increase its market share. Apart from the flex-fuel engine, the model is unlikely to receive any changes to the exterior or interior. That said, the same features will carry over to the flex-fuel model. It includes a 10.25-inch touchscreen, a 7-inch instrument cluster, a wireless phone charger, a single-pane sunroof, ambient lighting, a 360-degree camera, Auto AC, and more.
Talking about the pricing, the flex fuel version of the Tata Punch is expected to see a price hike of around Rs 1 lakh, depending on the variant.
