Tata Motors Reports Dip in Sales but Sees Positive EV Momentum

Tata Motors has announced a decline in its total sales in the first quarter of FY26, recording a 9% drop to 2,10,415 units from 2,29,891 units in the same period last year. The company attributed these figures to a 6% decrease in commercial vehicle (CV) sales and a 10% fall in passenger vehicle (PV) sales.

In the domestic market, sales of medium and heavy commercial vehicles (MH&ICVs) in June 2025 fell to 12,871 units from 14,640 units a year earlier. When including international markets, MH&ICV sales for the quarter registered at 40,401 units, down slightly from 41,974 units previously. Executive Director Girish Wagh expressed optimism, citing factors like favorable monsoon forecasts and infrastructure development that could boost commercial vehicle volumes in upcoming quarters.

On the passenger vehicle front, Managing Director Shailesh Chandra highlighted that total wholesales, including Electric Vehicles (EVs), reached 124,809 units in Q1 FY26. EV sales gained traction, with a noted end-of-quarter growth. The company anticipates further growth with new launches such as the refreshed Tiago, Altroz, and Harrier.ev, while maintaining a strategic focus on the electric vehicle segment.
