Tata posts 22% growth in Q3 FY2025-26, marking another milestone for the automaker’s passenger vehicle business. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd (TMPV) reported a robust performance in the October–December quarter, driven by rising SUV demand, rapid electric vehicle (EV) adoption, and tighter control over dealer inventories.
Overall Sales Growth Impresses
During Q3 FY26, Tata Motors recorded total passenger vehicle wholesales of 1,71,013 units, reflecting a 22.3 percent year-on-year growth compared to 1,39,829 units in the same quarter last year. Domestic sales remained the mainstay, rising nearly 21 percent to 1,68,616 units, while exports surged sharply to 2,397 units, albeit from a low base. This strong showing helped Tata Motors secure the number two position in India’s passenger vehicle market for the quarter.
Electric Vehicles Power Ahead
Electric mobility continued to be a standout growth driver. Combined domestic and export EV sales reached 24,103 units, registering a sharp 49.5 percent YoY increase. December alone contributed 6,906 EVs, up 24 percent year-on-year. Improved range, enhanced features, and competitive pricing have strengthened Tata’s leadership in the EV space. Once again, Tata posts 22% growth in Q3 FY2025-26, with electrification playing a decisive role.
SUVs Anchor the Portfolio
SUVs remained the backbone of Tata Motors’ passenger vehicle lineup, recording an 18 percent rise in volumes. Models like the Nexon, Punc,h, and Tiago delivered consistently strong numbers. The Nexon emerged as India’s best-selling car and SUV in October and November, with around 64,000 units sold in Q3, while the Punch continued to dominate its segment.
Strong December and Healthy Inventory
December 2025 capped off the quarter on a high note, with 22 percent YoY growth. Retail sales outpaced wholesales, enabling Tata Motors to bring dealer inventory down to about 18 days, underscoring its focus on demand-led growth and channel health.
Record Calendar Year and New Launches
For calendar year 2025, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles achieved its fifth consecutive year of record sales, selling 5,87,218 units, including its highest-ever annual EV volumes of 81,125 units. Management highlighted that momentum from GST 2.0 implementation carried into Q3, leading to record quarterly wholesales and retail registrations crossing 2,00,000 units for the first time.
The quarter also saw key product actions, including the unveiling of petrol-powered Harrier and Safari and the much-anticipated Sierra, both receiving strong initial response.
Outlook Remains Positive
Looking ahead, Tata Motors expects industry momentum to continue, supported by new launches, Q4 deliveries, and its expanding multi-powertrain strategy across ICE, CNG, and EVs. With sustained demand and product strength, Tata posts 22% growth in Q3 FY2025-26, reinforcing confidence in its growth trajectory.
