Shailesh Chandra, MD and CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. said, "In Q2 FY27, passenger vehicle demand sustained the strong momentum seen following GST 2.0, despite the quarter being seasonally softer. Industry Vahan volumes grew around 24% year-onyear, led by increasing adoption of greener powertrains, providing a promising backdrop for the forthcoming festive season.

For Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, Q2 FY27 was our highest-ever quarter, with sales of 201,723 units and industry-beating growth of 40% year-on-year. We ended the quarter on a strong note, crossing the 70,000-unit sales milestone in September and look forward to carrying this momentum as we enter the festive period.

Our greener powertrain portfolio continued to be a significant growth driver. EVs recorded their highest-ever quarterly sales of over 47,000 units, growing 90% year-on-year, with EV penetration in our portfolio rising sharply to 23%, compared with around 8% for the industry. CNG also delivered its highest-ever quarterly sales and accounted for 28% of our volumes. Together, EV and CNG now contribute 51% of our sales, reflecting the rapid shift in customer preference towards greener mobility.

Customer response remained strong across our portfolio, with Punch emerging as India's highest-selling SUV during the quarter. Building on the momentum of our Q1 launches, we further strengthened our portfolio with Curvv SeriesX, Sierra Legend Series and the all-new Tata Aeris. We also unveiled our new customer-facing identity, TATA.CARS, reflecting the evolution of our brand in step with the aspirations of today's Indian car buyer.

Looking ahead, we remain optimistic about the festive season, supported by a strong order book and healthy customer traction across the 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."
