Kochi, Kerala – In a significant blend of sportsmanship and sustainability, Indian field hockey icon Parattu Raveendran Sreejesh has become the first customer to take delivery of Tata Motors’ highly anticipated Curvv EV from the newly opened Tata EV dealership in Edappally. The star goalkeeper, often dubbed the ‘Great Wall of India’ for his legendary performances, is making headlines once again, this time off the field.
Sreejesh, known for leading India’s national hockey team to historic bronze medal victories in both the 2020 and 2024 Summer Olympics, was personally handed the keys to his new Curvv EV by Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director of Tata Motors. This event marked the official launch of the dealership and added a dash of star power to the brand’s push for sustainable mobility.
The Tata Curvv EV, starting at ₹17.49 lakh, promises to redefine the mid-size SUV market with its sleek design, robust performance, and long-range capabilities. The vehicle comes in two battery options: the 45kWh version offering a range of 502 km, and the larger 55kWh battery delivering an impressive 585 km on a single charge.
Built on Tata’s advanced ‘acti.ev’ architecture, the Curvv EV seamlessly blends the ruggedness of an SUV with the elegance of a coupe, creating a modern, sporty silhouette. This non-traditional design not only emphasizes style but also delivers high performance with a 123 kW (167 PS) powertrain, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 8.6 seconds.
For Sreejesh, who has been a symbol of resilience and excellence in Indian sports, the purchase reflects his personal commitment to a cleaner, greener future. Speaking at the delivery event, the former captain of India’s national team shared, “As athletes, we always strive for peak performance, and I see that same commitment in Tata Motors’ vision for electric mobility. The Curvv EV is a perfect balance of power, comfort, and sustainability.”
The Curvv EV is equipped with cutting-edge features usually found in higher-end models, from advanced comfort seats to ventilated front seating, a 6-way power-adjustable driver seat, and fast charging capabilities. It combines comfort and convenience with top-tier driving dynamics, making it an appealing option for eco-conscious consumers seeking luxury and efficiency.
Sreejesh, who hails from Kochi, Kerala, continues to inspire the nation both on and off the field, now stepping into the role of an advocate for sustainable transportation. His latest purchase sets a precedent for both sports figures and everyday consumers to embrace greener, more environmentally friendly choices in their daily lives.
As India pushes towards a future driven by electric mobility, P.R. Sreejesh’s move to go electric reinforces his status as not just a sports legend, but a forward-thinking role model for the nation.
