Nexon EV reclaims the index from Punch EV, but only by 0.7 points — the Tata twins are now effectively tied.
The move
After yesterday's Punch-led reading, Tata Nexon EV moves back to rank 1 at 58.7% SoV (+1.4 pts) while Tata Punch EV slips to 58.0% (-0.7 pts), the narrowest gap recorded in this arc.
The engine split that opened the vertical on day one is intact: Nexon EV wins ChatGPT (50%) and AI Mode (62%); Punch EV holds Gemini at a vertical-high 74%, fed by fresh growth on autocarindia.com (+6 cites) and zigwheels.com (+5).
Mahindra's middle holds flat — BE 6 unchanged at 50.7%, XEV 9e at 45.3% (-1.4 pts) after this week's whipsaw — while MG Comet EV is today's biggest loser at -5.4 pts, dropping to rank 6 as its ChatGPT and AI Mode citations thin out.
What it means
Three days in, the Tata-vs-Tata contest is the real story of this vertical, not Tata-vs-Mahindra.
Nexon EV and Punch EV are now within a single point of each other on combined SoV but win on completely different engines and citation pools — Nexon EV on ChatGPT's editorial and forum sources, Punch EV on Gemini's commerce-listing pool (autocarindia, zigwheels, auto.hindustantimes).
The lesson for AEO teams in this category: which Tata you rank for depends entirely on which engine your buyer is using, and the citation pools backing each engine barely overlap.
The import set — BYD, Kia, Hyundai — continues to bleed: BYD Seal -4.0 pts, BYD Atto 3 -1.4 pts, Kona EV stuck at 4.0%.
India's electric-car AI conversation is a two-Tata conversation with Mahindra as a structural floor.
