Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) is fast becoming a popular way to buy an EV in India, letting buyers pay a lower upfront price and a per-km battery rental instead of owning the battery outright.
Twelve electric cars currently offer this scheme, spanning affordable city cars like the Tata Tiago EV all the way to premium SUVs and MPVs from Kia, MG and Mahindra.

MG Hector Tomahawk EV

MG launched the Hector Tomahawk EV as a three-row electric SUV on its new ADAPT platform. It comes with a 69.2 kWh battery claiming 517 km on the MIDC cycle.
BaaS brings the entry Excite seven-seater down to ₹13.99 lakh with battery rent of ₹4.90 per km. The outright price for the same variant is ₹19.49 lakh.
The scheme runs across the range. Exclusive costs ₹15.99 lakh, the Essence five-seater ₹16.99 lakh and the Essence seven-seater ₹17.49 lakh, all on the same rental rate.
MG backs it with a lifetime warranty on the high voltage battery for the first owner on private registration. That drops to 8 years or 1,60,000 km if the car changes hands.
MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV

The MG Hector Tomahawk PHEV is the first plug-in hybrid in India offered under a BaaS scheme. It pairs a 1.5 litre Atkinson cycle petrol engine with a 20.5 kWh battery and a dedicated hybrid transmission.
BaaS drops the Exclusive seven-seater from ₹25.69 lakh to ₹21.79 lakh, with battery rent of ₹3.20 per km. The Essence sits at ₹23.89 lakh on the same rate.
The rental rate is lower than any pure EV on this list because the battery is far smaller at 20.5 kWh. MG claims over 115 km of electric range and more than 1,100 km combined.
Kia Syros EV

Kia’s new Syros EV brings serious range to India’s compact SUV segment, with its larger 51.4 kWh battery delivering a segment-first 526 km ARAI range. That battery feeds a 171 PS motor capable of hitting 0-100 km/h in 8.1 seconds, while a 100 kW fast charger can top it back up from 10% to 80% in a claimed 39 minutes.
Inside, the cabin features a massive 30-inch continuous display, a panoramic sunroof, Harman Kardon audio, and ventilated seats for both front and rear passengers. Meanwhile, six airbags and Level 2 ADAS handle safety.
With BaaS, the Syros's prices start at Rs 7.99 lakh with a battery rental cost of Rs 3.3 per kilometre.
A Lifetime High Voltage Battery Warranty and Assured Buyback programme are also offered.
