Tata Motors, one of the country's popular car companies, has recorded excellent performance in its passenger vehicle (PV) sales in February 2026. The company sold a total of 63,331 passenger vehicles, which shows an increase of 35.29% compared to last year in February 2025. In February 2025, the company had sold 46,811 units, whereas this year the difference was 16,520 units.
This growth is mainly due to strong demand in the domestic market and the boom in the electric vehicles (EV) segment. However, sales saw a decline of 11.37% compared to January 2026, where 70,222 units were sold. Let's take a look at last month's Celt report.
Demand increased in domestic market
According to Tata Motors report, 62,329 units were sold in the domestic market in February 2026, which is 34.23% more than 46,435 units in February 2025. There was a difference of 15,894 units in domestic sales. The company says that this growth is driven by the demand for popular models like Nexon, Punch and Tiago. Apart from this, Tata's strong hold in the EV segment also played an important role.
Total EV sales in February 2026 stood at 8,385 units, which is 56.93% more than last year's 5,343 units, which was an increase of 3,042 units. The popularity of models like Tata Nexon EV and Tigor EV has strengthened the company's share in the EV market.
Boom in exports too
Tata Motors also performed brilliantly in exports. 1,002 units were exported in February 2026, which is 166.49% more than 376 units in February 2025. This increase reflects the increasing demand in markets like Africa, Middle East and South Asia. Overall, this surge in PV sales is a result of Tata Motors' strategic initiatives such as the launch of new EV models and introduction of BaaS along with supply chain improvements.
monthly sales decreased
However, there has been a decline in sales on month-on-month (MOM) basis. Sales of record 70,222 units in January 2026 fell to 62,239 units (domestic) in February, showing a decline of 7,983 units. This could be due to seasonal factors, such as post-Budget uncertainty or supply chain disruptions. Nevertheless, year-on-year growth continues to maintain the company's strong position.
What did the company say?
Tata Motors MD Shailesh Chandra said that February sales reflect confidence in our EV portfolio and the domestic market. We plan to launch more innovative models in 2026, including the Curve EV and Harrier EV. The growth in the company's EV sales has also been encouraged by the EV policy and subsidy schemes of the Government of India.
Auto industry analysts say that Tata Motors remains at third position in the passenger vehicle market after Maruti Suzuki and Hyundai, but it is the leader in the EV segment. The company's market share has increased to about 14% due to February sales. In the coming months, further increase in sales is expected due to Holi and summer demand.
