Tata Motors posts record 60,907 September sales, up 47% on GST cut and Navratri demand

Tata Motors hit a new high in September, selling 60,907 passenger vehicles, the company’s best-ever monthly performance. The 47 percent jump from last year came on the back of the GST rate cut and a festive Navratri boost.

Vehicle wholesales stood at 41,313 units for the month, while domestic dispatches to dealers climbed 45 per cent to 59,667 units, up from 41,063 a year ago.

“The passenger vehicles industry marked a sharp upswing in demand during September 2025, following the rollout of GST 2.0, further buoyed by festive tailwinds. This surge in demand sets a promising tone for sustained growth in the months ahead,” said Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles.


September 2025 turned into a milestone month, Chandra added, with sales hitting a record 60,907 units, a 47 per cent increase over the previous year.

The surge wasn’t just in numbers.

“This milestone was complemented by record-breaking performances across our green fuel portfolio: EV sales surged over 96 per cent year-on-year to 9,191 units, setting a new benchmark, while CNG sales reached an all-time high of over 17,800 units, reflecting a remarkable 105 per cent-plus growth compared to Q2FY25,” Chandra said, speaking to PTI.

Customer interest spiked across the board, with new bookings doubling in the latter half of September after GST rates came down. Leading the charge was the Nexon, which sold over 22,500 units in a single month, the highest-ever for any Tata passenger vehicle.

The Harrier and Safari kept up the momentum, fuelled by the Adventure X edition and multiple powertrain options, achieving their best-ever combined sales. The Punch also strengthened its hold on the compact SUV segment.

“Going forward, with a strong booking pipeline, agile supply readiness, and rising demand driven by festive cheer and accessible pricing, we are well-positioned to carry this growth momentum in H2 FY26,” Chandra added.

On the corporate front, effective October 1, Tata Motors demerged its commercial vehicles business into TML Commercial Vehicles Ltd (TMLCV) and consolidated the passenger vehicles business under the parent company, following approval from the National Company Law Tribunal.

Commercial vehicle sales rose 19 per cent to 35,862 units in September, with domestic dispatches climbing 16 per cent to 33,148 units from 28,631 a year earlier.

“While July faced headwinds due to monsoon and August reflected cautious sentiment ahead of the GST 2.0 rollout, the onset of the festive season and lower GST rates from late September brought a good recovery in sales, bookings and sentiment,” said Girish Wagh, Executive Director of Tata Motors.

With the festive season underway and GST reforms yet to fully settle in, Tata Motors expects a strong second half of FY26.
