New Delhi: VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV) reported a steady rise in its overall sales for April 2026, registering a growth of around 6 per cent year-on-year, supported largely by robust performance in the domestic commercial vehicle segment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The company said total sales, including electric vehicles, stood at 7,318 units in April 2026 as against 6,846 units in April 2025, reflecting a growth of about 6 per cent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sales of Eicher Trucks and Buses, including EVs, rose to 7,156 units during the month under review compared to 6,717 units in the same period last year, marking a 6.6 per cent increase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Domestic sales remained the key growth driver for the company, climbing 8.6 per cent to 6,797 units in April 2026 from 6,257 units a year earlier. Within this, the small commercial vehicle (SCV) and light and medium duty (LMD) truck segment recorded a strong 17.9 per cent growth at 3,243 units, up from 2,750 units in April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Heavy duty (HD) trucks also posted healthy growth of 14.9 per cent, with sales rising to 1,516 units from 1,319 units in the year-ago period, indicating sustained demand in the higher tonnage category.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, the bus segment showed a mixed trend. While LMD bus sales declined marginally by 2.5 per cent to 1,976 units from 2,026 units, HD bus sales witnessed a sharp drop of 61.7 per cent, falling to 62 units compared to 162 units in April last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the exports front, VECV reported a decline of 21.3 per cent, with total overseas shipments at 362 units in April 2026 against 460 units in the corresponding month of the previous year. The SCV\/LMD export segment fell 24.2 per cent to 226 units, while bus exports dropped steeply by 74.2 per cent to 32 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In contrast, exports of HD trucks surged significantly by 173.7 per cent to 104 units from 38 units a year ago, partially offsetting the overall decline in international markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile, sales of Volvo Trucks and Buses rose 23.3 per cent to 159 units in April 2026 compared to 129 units in April 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall, VECV\u2019s performance in April reflects stable growth led by domestic demand, even as export markets and certain bus segments remained under pressure.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
