Tata Motors Rises to Second Largest Passenger Vehicle Maker as Maruti Suzuki Leads
In September, Tata Motors sold 68,810 passenger vehicles, marking a 15.3% year-on-year increase and securing its position as the second-largest player behind Maruti Suzuki. The Nexon led Tata's sales despite a slight year-on-year dip, while models like Sierra and Curvv saw gains. Maruti Suzuki reclaimed over 40% market share in the first half of FY27, driven by higher production and strong demand for small cars and SUVs. Meanwhile, Tata Motors surpassed Mahindra, with Hyundai experiencing a decline in market share amid rising industry-wide wholesales.
