Tata Punch facelift will be launched on January 13. This update brings noticeable design changes, including new LED headlamps, DRLs, updated bumpers and fresh alloy wheels.

Nissan will unveil the Nissan Gravite on January 21. This compact MPV is based on the Renault Triber and will target family buyers. The Gravite will sit on the CMF-A+ platform and feature a refreshed design and a different cabin layout. Power is expected to come from a 1.0-litre petrol engine with manual and AMT gearbox options.
Renault Duster India launch is scheduled for January 26. The new-generation Duster will return after a long gap and will be based on the CMF-B platform.

The SUV will largely follow the global design but with some India-specific tweaks.
