Tata Motors EV Sales Surge 112% in Q1 as Demand Strengthens Across Segments

Mumbai: Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. reported a strong start to FY27, registering sales of 182,574 cars and SUVs in the first quarter, up 46% from 124,809 units in Q1 FY26. The figures include sales across domestic and international markets.

The company said growth was supported by robust customer demand, recent product launches and continued momentum in electric vehicles, where volumes more than doubled during the quarter.

June proved particularly strong for the automaker, with sales of 63,083 cars and SUVs, marking a 69% year-on-year increase. In the electric vehicle segment, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles recorded its highest-ever monthly sales of 14,800 units, with EV volumes nearly tripling compared with the same month last year.

Shailesh Chandra, MD and CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. 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% year-on-year (YoY). This performance was fueled 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 ~40% 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% 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.”

The company’s performance comes amid rising competition in India’s passenger vehicle market, where automakers are increasingly relying on SUVs, refreshed hatchbacks and electric models to keep buyers interested. Tata Motors’ multi-powertrain approach appears to be helping it cover more ground — quite literally — across petrol, CNG and electric vehicle categories.

The strong response to the updated Tiago and Punch models has also added to the company’s order pipeline. Tata Motors said bookings have risen across powertrains, underlining demand for both conventional and electric options at a time when buyers are weighing running costs, technology and practicality more closely than ever.

However, the company acknowledged that supply constraints affected Sierra volumes during the quarter. It said measures are being taken to increase production from select vendors, which should help accelerate deliveries from the second quarter onward.

With EV adoption gaining pace and mainstream models drawing strong bookings, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles enters the rest of FY27 with a sizable order book and steady demand. For India’s passenger vehicle market, the company’s quarterly performance signals that electrification is no longer a side story — it is increasingly becoming part of the main traffic flow.
