Tata Motors reported total domestic sales of 65,019 units in June 2025, a 12 per cent decline compared to 74,147 units sold in the same month last year. This was on account of continued market softness and subdued demand, which affected its passenger vehicle (PV) and commercial vehicle (CV) segments. In the passenger vehicle category, Tata Motors sold 37,083 units domestically in June, down 15 per cent YoY from 43,524 units in June 2024. However, the company's electric vehicle (EV) portfolio showed resilience, with 5,228 units (domestic and international) sold during the month, reflecting a 12 per cent growth YoY. 'While overall PV volumes remained under pressure, the EV segment continued to gain momentum, supported by robust demand and recent product refreshes,' said Shailesh Chandra, MD, Tata Motors PV and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility. Commercial vehicle sales In the commercial vehicle segment, Tata Motors posted domestic sales of 27,936 units, down 9 per cent YoY from 30,623 units in June 2024. The decline was seen primarily in heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) and small commercial vehicles (SCVs). Nonetheless, the company recorded an 8 per cent month-on-month growth, signaling early signs of recovery.
