Shailesh Chandra, MD and CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, said, “Q1 FY27 has marked a strong start for Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, delivering industry beating growth with sales of 182,574 cars and SUVs, up 46 percent YoY. This performance was fuelled by robust customer demand and the success of our recent launches. Our leadership in electric mobility further strengthened during the quarter, with EV volumes more than doubling to record 112% growth YoY. Our retail performance was equally encouraging, with Vahan registrations rising around 40 percent YoY, nearly twice the industry growth. We concluded the quarter on a high note, recording June sales of 63,083 cars and SUVs, registering a robust 69 percent growth YoY. In EVs, we achieved our highest-ever monthly sales of 14,800 units, with volumes nearly tripling YoY. The sustained momentum across both wholesale and retail channels reinforces the growing strength of our portfolio and the positive response from customers across segments. The response to the new avatars of Tiago and Punch have been overwhelming with bookings surging across powertrain, reaffirming the strength of our multi-powertrain strategy. We are seeing encouraging growth in EV adoption across segments and the strong momentum in the entry EV category signals rapid mainstreaming of electric mobility across India. While supply constraints impacted Sierra volumes during the quarter, customer interest and booking momentum remain robust. Corrective measures are currently underway to further augment production from select vendors in line with demand and this will progressively enable us to accelerate deliveries from Q2 onward. With a strong order book, exciting products and sustained customer demand, we remain confident about maintaining our growth momentum through the rest of the year.”
