Last week, brokerage firm Citi had maintained its “sell” rating on the stock even as it was positive on its recent Sierra EV launch. The brokerage’s ‘sell’ rating comes with a price target of ₹320 per share, indicating a downside of 9% from its previous closing price.

It said the recent Sierra EV launch offered 63 kWh and 75 kWh battery options, with the latter delivering over 500km range. The peak power stands at 175 kW, with an additional 103 kW motor in QWD configuration. The introductory pricing ranges from ₹18.8 lakh to ₹24.8 lakh, placing it in competition with M&M’s BE6, XEV 9E, and top-end Maruti e-Vitara.

Relative to the Hyundai Creta Electric and MG ZSEV, the pricing appears competitive, particularly with entry-level variants positioned close to rival top-end trims, which might drive up-trading, Citi said.
