Management commentary
Shailesh Chandra, MD and CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, said passenger vehicle demand sustained the momentum seen following GST 2.0, despite the quarter being seasonally softer.
“Industry Vahan volumes grew around 24% year-on-year, led by increasing adoption of greener powertrains, providing a promising backdrop for the forthcoming festive season,” Chandra said.
For Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Q2 FY27 was its highest-ever quarter, with sales of 201,723 units and industry-beating growth of 40% year-on-year.
The company’s greener powertrain portfolio continued to be a significant growth driver. EVs recorded their highest-ever quarterly sales of more than 47,000 units, growing 90% year-on-year, while EV penetration in the company’s portfolio rose to 23%, compared with around 8% for the industry.
CNG also delivered its highest-ever quarterly sales and accounted for 28% of volumes. Together, EV and CNG contributed 51% of the company’s sales during the quarter, Chandra said.
Customer response remained strong across the portfolio, with Punch emerging as India’s highest-selling SUV during the quarter, according to the company.
Building on the momentum of its Q1 launches, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles further strengthened its portfolio with the Curvv SeriesX, Sierra Legend Series and the all-new Tata Aeris. The automaker also unveiled its customer-facing identity, TATA.CARS, reflecting the evolution of its brand.
Looking ahead, Chandra said the company remains optimistic about the festive season, supported by a strong order book and healthy customer traction across its portfolio.
“As we progressively scale up production, our focus will be on fully leveraging this demand, sustaining our growth momentum and further strengthening our competitive position in the market,” he said.
