Tata Punch.EV: WPL 2024 Official Vehicle
The WPL, also called the Women Premier League, is a T20 cricket league exclusive to female players. It is comparable to the well-known IPL Twenty20 men’s cricket competition, in which five teams fight for the championship. The inaugural season of the WPL, a brand-new competition, took place in 2023.
WPL 2024 is set to begin this year on February 23, 2024, which is today. This cricket competition, which lasts for a month, will end on March 17, 2024, with the winner side taking home the WPL 2024 trophy. This year’s official title sponsor of the Women Premier League (WPL) is Tata Motors.
Tata announced this with a message that was uploaded on its official X account. The official vehicle of the WPL 2024 competition is the Punch.ev. Tata is reportedly placing a large bet on its newest electric vehicle on the Indian market and is aggressively marketing it there at every chance.
Tata had already advertised their vehicle at Twenty20 cricket competitions.

The Tiago EV won the title of official car for the Indian Premier League last year.
