Thinking of buying the Tata Harrier EV? Check out the maximum range that each variant offers
Tata Motors recently announced pricing for the rear-wheel drive (RWD) variants of the Harrier EV, which starts at ₹ 21.49 lakh and goes up to ₹ 27.49 lakh (both ex-showroom). In a fresh update, the automaker has now disclosed more information about the Harrier EV, especially the range figures for the RWD variants. The electric SUV will be offered with two battery configurations: 65 kWh and 75 kWh. Here's a detailed look at the range capabilities of each option: The rear-wheel drive versions of the Tata Harrier EV will come equipped with either a 65 kWh or 75 kWh battery, both paired with a single-motor setup. The larger 75 kWh battery will also be available on the Quad Wheel Drive (QWD) version, which features a dual-motor layout. According to the company claims, the 65 kWh RWD variant can travel up to 538 km on a full charge, while the 75 kWh RWD offers a maximum driving range of 627 km. The 75 kWh QWD variant, while slightly behind in overall range at 622 km, delivers more performance and enhanced off-road capability due to its dual-motor configuration. These range numbers are based on the MIDC (Modified Indian Driving Cycle) standard. As test cycle ratings often differ from everyday usage, Tata Motors has also shared more practical, real-world range estimates for the Harrier EV. Referred to as the 'C75' range, which is an approximation of what 75 per cent of typical users can expect in regular driving scenarios. Under this, the 65 kWh RWD variant is expected to deliver between 420 and 445 km. The 75 kWh RWD model is estimated to return a range of 480 to 505 km, while the 75 kWh QWD version is rated at around 460 to 490 km in real-world conditions. Tata Motors will offer a lifetime battery warranty on the Harrier EV, which is valid for up to 15 years from the vehicle's registration date. Additionally, the brand has confirmed that second-hand buyers of the EV will still be eligible for a 10-year or 2,00,000 km warranty package, whichever comes first. It's important to note that the ex-showroom price does not cover the cost of a home charger or installation. The company will provide a 7.3 kW AC wall charger, which takes around 9.3 hours to fully charge the 65 kWh battery. For the 75 kWh unit, charging from 10 per cent to 100 per cent will require approximately 10.7 hours.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio will host the Foreign Ministers from the QUAD nations—Australia, India, and Japan—on July 1 in Washington, DC, for the 2025 QUAD Foreign Ministers Meeting, announced US State Department Principal Deputy Spokesperson Tommy Pigott on Thursday (US local time). Addressing the media, Pigott said, 'Next week, Secretary Rubio will host foreign ministers from Australia, India, and Japan for the 2025 Quad Foreign Ministers Meeting on July 1 in Washington, D.C. The secretary's first diplomatic engagement was with the Quad, and next week's summit builds on that momentum to advance a free, open, and secure Indo-Pacific. This is what American leadership looks like: strength, peace, and prosperity." Speaking to ANI, Dhruva Jaishankar from ORF Washington DC. shared insights on the expectations from the summit, highlighting challenges in current US relations with Quad partners. 'US relations with its Quad partners have been complicated of late, given differences with Japan over defence spending, Australia over AUKUS, and India over Pakistan. For these reasons, even maintaining the Quad agenda going forward is difficult, despite the US concentrating the group's focus on security, prosperity, tech, and homeland security," he noted. This meeting also follows a recent development from June 18, where US President Donald Trump accepted Prime Minister Narendra Modi's invitation to attend the QUAD Leaders' Summit in New Delhi later this year, as confirmed by Foreign Secretary Vikram Misri. 'For the next meeting of the Quad, PM Modi invited President Trump to India. While accepting the invitation, President Trump said that he is excited to come to India," Misri said in a video statement after a telephonic conversation on the sidelines of the G7 Summit in Canada. The Quad alliance, comprising Australia, India, Japan, and the United States, is a strategic partnership focused on ensuring an open, stable, and prosperous Indo-Pacific. Its origins trace back to the collaborative response to the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami. Earlier in January, Rubio, on his first day as Secretary of State, had hosted Quad foreign ministers, emphasizing the US commitment to strengthening economic opportunity and ensuring peace and security in the region. 'On day one as Secretary of State, I hosted the Foreign Ministers of Australia, India, and Japan for an important meeting of the Quad. We are committed to strengthening economic opportunity and peace and security in the Indo-Pacific region," Rubio posted on X. In a joint statement issued after that meeting, the Quad foreign ministers reaffirmed their commitment to a free and open Indo-Pacific, where 'sovereignty and territorial integrity are upheld and defended." They also strongly opposed 'any unilateral actions aimed at changing the status quo through force or coercion." First Published: June 27, 2025, 07:03 IST

While You Were Sleeping: 5 stories you might have missed, June 27, 2025
A man taking a photo of a residential building in Tehran that was hit by an Israeli missile, with the damaged part covered by a large Iranian flag, on June 25. PHOTO: AFP While You Were Sleeping: 5 stories you might have missed, June 27, 2025 Iran says no plan for new US nuclear talks Iran on June 26 denied it is set to resume nuclear talks with the United States after the end of a 12-day war with Israel, and accused Washington of exaggerating the impact of US strikes. The most serious conflict yet between Israel and Iran derailed nuclear talks between Iran and the United States, yet President Donald Trump said Washington would hold discussions with Tehran next week, with his special envoy Steve Witkoff expressing hope 'for a comprehensive peace agreement'. But Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi shut down what he said was 'speculation' that Tehran would come to the table and said it 'should not be taken seriously'. Mr Araghchi's denial came as Iranian lawmakers passed a 'binding' Bill suspending cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog and after supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei accused Mr Trump of exaggerating the impact of US strikes on Iranian nuclear sites.

Mr Rubio had welcomed Quad foreign ministers on Jan 21 in his first meeting after President Donald Trump's inauguration, seen as a sign that the new administration would prioritise engagement with like-minded countries to counter China. Since then, much of Mr Rubio's attention has been on the Middle East, with the United States bombing Iranian nuclear sites in support of Israel, and on Ukraine, as Mr Trump unsuccessfully seeks a ceasefire in Russia's invasion.

It is the first international student backup strategy announced since the US Department of Homeland Security moved in May to strip Harvard of its ability to enroll international students. A federal judge has since blocked the government's move. In response to potential US visa challenges, students at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School of Government who are unable to return to the United States will have the option to continue their studies through a visiting student programme at the University of Toronto's Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.
