The revenue growth was primarily driven by robust sales in both the passenger vehicles and commercial vehicles segments. Additionally, the commercial vehicle segment also witnessed a substantial uptick in demand, boosted by the economic recovery and increased logistics activity.

The company anticipates that Q2 output and cash flow would be lower than in Q1 due to the annual summer plant downtime, while wholesales and profitability will be more in line with prior quarters.
"The Indian commercial vehicle sector made a promising start to FY24 in Q1, enabled by a strong infrastructure push from the Government as well as increased economic activity," stated Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors.
"As the year progresses, we will continue to drive our demand-pull strategy and step up our competitiveness with improved availability of our exciting range of products," he added.
