The concept electric car from the Indian modification house was first showcased at the Auto Expo 2025
The DC2 e-Tanq was recently seen in real life without any sort of camouflage. Note that this was a highlight at the Auto Expo 2025. The made-in-India electric 4×4 “urban tank” is particularly interesting for its flamboyant and exquisite styling. That is understandable since DC2 was involved in its creation. Also, DC2 collaborated with Mercury EV-Tech to come up with this indigenous electric monster. The launch of the futuristic EV is planned for this year itself.
DC2 e-Tanq Spotted Road Testing
The exterior styling of the DC2 e-Tanq is its prime attraction. It looks like the electric SUV is pulled straight out of a sci-fi movie. The front fascia is aggressive with unique slats which cover the bonnet and bumper sections, while the main headlamps are neatly located on the edges of the bonnet. Furthermore, the side fenders are colossal and they encapsulate the monster alloy wheels with off-road tyres rather well. Apart from that, the side section confirms its two-door configuration with ginormous wheel arches and side body claddings. The contrasting black roof looks sporty with the red colour. Finally, the tail end contains a connected LED light bar with an upright bumper, which carries a solid skid plate. In essence, there will be nothing like this on the road if all this design makes it to production.
Even though not all details are clear just yet, we know that it will carry a mammoth 180 kWh battery pack, which will power two electric motors for an all-wheel drive system. The total power output will be in the vicinity of 650 hp. This will invariably result in brisk acceleration regardless of the size of this SUV. The production is planned for this year and some reports mention that the price could be around Rs 50 lakh. We shall have to wait a bit more to get detailed information.
Editor’s Note

From where I see it, the DC2 e-Tanq is less about volumes and more about making a bold statement for India’s EV ecosystem. Projects like this show how far indigenous design ambition has come, even if real-world viability will hinge on execution, pricing and after-sales support. A ₹50-lakh electric 4×4 with such radical styling will always be niche, but it does succeed in grabbing attention and sparking conversation. For the Indian market, that kind of brand-led disruption is just as important as mass-market EVs right now.
