Mr. Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors Ltd. said, “FY24 began on a promising note for the commercial vehicles industry with the industry expecting to scale the previous volume peak achieved in FY19. The trend of YoY sales growth in volumes across most segments of H1FY24 moderated in H2 due to the combined effects of a high base, elections held across 5 states in Q3FY24 and upcoming General Elections in Q1FY25. The industry transitioned to the BS6 Phase II emission norm and we used this opportunity to significantly enhance key attributes across our entire vehicle portfolio. Equipped with smarter technologies to deliver even better performance and value, the advancements have been well received by customers leading to overall sales of ~3,96,000 units in FY24.”

Tata Motors' sales for March 2024 show a small drop in overall commercial vehicle sales, mainly due to fewer sales of heavy trucks and light commercial vehicles within India. Yet, there's good news that more people are buying passenger carriers, and their global sales are up too, indicating a positive outlook despite some challenges.
