For the second quarter, domestic commercial vehicle sales stood at 1,13,982 units, up 30.9 per cent from 87,061 units in Q2 FY26.

Including international markets, MH&ICV sales rose 42.7 per cent to 23,910 units in September and 31.3 per cent to 59,194 units in Q2 FY27. Tata Motors also said electric vehicle volumes recorded 2.4-fold year-on-year growth in the second quarter of FY27.
Mr. Girish Wagh, MD & CEO, Tata Motors Ltd., said, “We are encouraged by the strong, broad-based momentum built across our businesses in the past 12 months as an independent commercial vehicle company, reflecting the strength of our portfolio, technology-led innovation and deep customer understanding.
In Q2 FY27, sales grew to 1,35,114 units, a strong 42.7% growth, taking H1 FY27 volumes to 2,43,602 units, up 35.1% year-on-year. Importantly, the growth registered during the quarter was broad-based, reflecting healthy demand across the economy. HCVs benefited from continued activity in core sectors, sustained infrastructure, construction and mining activity; ILMCVs from e-commerce and FMCG, FMCD, and two-wheeler logistics; and SCVPU from consumption-led freight movements.
Passenger transportation also maintained momentum, supported by last-mile mobility, government orders and growing intercity travel. Overall fleet utilisation levels were stable, indicating healthy underlying freight activity.
Looking ahead, commodity costs remain a significant concern, while diesel prices, potential interest rate hikes and global uncertainties remain key monitorables. While the high H2 base could moderate growth rates, industry fundamentals remain supportive. Sustained government capital expenditure, a post-monsoon pickup in mining and construction activity, rising e-commerce volumes and the festive season are expected to support freight and transportation demand. Through this, we remain confident in our ability to drive sustainable growth through innovation, customer value and disciplined execution.”
