For this Tata hatch, the tata altroz wiper blade size works out to 24 inch for the driver's sweep and 16 inch for the shorter passenger sweep. The longer arm covers the bulk of the steeply raked glass, and the shorter one wipes the left hand corner.
Both blades are a standard fit and come off in a minute. Buy the pair together so they wear evenly through the monsoon.

In an Indian right hand drive car, the driver blade is on the right. Keep them on their own arms: mounted on the left arm, that 24 inch piece would cross over its partner and may strike the pillar.
Confirming blade length on your Altroz
Plenty of blades have their size embossed close to the hook joint. When that marking has faded, raise the arm off the glass and stretch a tailor tape along the squeegee edge, then round to the nearest inch. Do this before buying for a used car, because the seller may have fitted any length lying around the garage. The rear wiper on trims that have one is short; measure the old blade for it, as its size was not one we could confirm from two sources.
Swapping the front blades at home
- Turn the key off once the wipers have come to rest near the scuttle panel.
- Lift one arm away from the glass. Drape a cloth across the windscreen first, since a bare arm springing back may chip it.
- Thumb the release clip, then ease the worn Altroz blade off its J hook toward the bonnet.
- Hook on the replacement and give it a light tug to confirm it has locked.
- Lay that arm down slowly and move across to the other one.
- Run the washers to test for streaks.
When Altroz blades need replacing
- Smeared lines or a misty layer left behind
- A stuttering arm that squeaks rather than gliding
- Dry gaps right where you look through the screen
- Cracked or hardened rubber edge, common after a hot summer in the sun
A yearly change, timed for the weeks before the rains arrive, suits most Altroz owners. Blades parked under the sun wear out faster.
Buying replacements over the counter
Ask for "Altroz pair, 24 and 16 inch, hook fitting" and compare the connector with your old one before paying. Frameless blades sit flatter and clear water better at highway speed; framed blades are simpler and usually last well too. The frameless kind is pricier since it has a curved steel spine and a moulded spoiler. Too short and a strip stays wet; too long and it may float clear of the glass at highway pace.
Stretching blade life in Indian weather
Every wash day, run a damp microfibre along each rubber lip. Top the reservoir with washer concentrate mixed in water, because kitchen detergent smears the glass. Wet the screen before any wipe, and prop the arms upright if the Altroz will sit under a summer sun for days. In dusty areas, rinse the windscreen before wiping to avoid scratching it.
Questions owners ask
What is the altroz wiper blade size?
The right arm takes 24 inch and the left arm takes 16 inch.
Are the earlier version and current car the same?
Parts listings show one pair, 24 plus 16 inch, for both versions. Measure the old blade if you are unsure.
Does the Altroz have a rear wiper?
Higher trims have a rear wiper and washer. Measure the old rear blade or check the owner's manual for its size.
How long do Altroz wiper blades last?
Roughly a year in Indian heat, earlier if they smear or skip. Fresh blades before the rains are a good habit.
Would a longer driver blade clear more glass?
Not really. Extra length risks the two blades clashing or hitting the pillar, and the tip may lift at highway speed.
Are the Altroz wipers rain sensing?
Some trims have rain sensing wipers. The blade size stays the same.
