Domestic - Commercial Vehicles

Tata Motors' Commercial Vehicles (CV) domestic sales continued its strong growth momentum in June 2018 with 38,560 units, an increase of 50% compared to 25,660 units last year. Cumulative sales growth of CV in the domestic market for the quarter (April-June 2018) were at 111,642 units, a growth of 71%, compared to 65,283 units, in the same period last fiscal. Post the Supreme Court ruling on BSIII to BSIV transition, sales were affected last year as there was huge pre-buy and also a limited supply of BSIV vehicles. This year, the continued growth in June 2018 is on the back of the economy continuing to show an uptick due to the improved industrial activity, robust demand in private consumption and government spending on infrastructure.
