Separate October releases from Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited and Tata Motors Limited show combined sales of 123,078 units, up 24.5% from a year earlier, as international-category totals climbed from low bases.

Domestic sales were 113,678 units across both reports, a rise of 17,436 from 96,242 in October 2025. That increase accounts for roughly 72% of the combined net addition of 24,253 units, calculated from the releases. Across their respective international categories, the businesses recorded 9,400 units, up from 2,583 in the same month last year.

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles reported 75,426 units overall. Domestic sales were 73,894, a 21% increase; the release put 1,532 units in “PV IB,” up from 161. Total passenger-vehicle sales rose 23%, and the company reported 852% growth for PV IB. It also recorded 16,244 electric-vehicle sales across domestic and international markets, up 75% from 9,286, including units from subsidiary Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited.

Tata Motors Limited’s commercial-vehicle sales were 47,652 units, 27% higher than a year earlier. Domestic sales reached 39,784, up 13%; the commercial-vehicle release recorded 7,868 units under “International Business,” versus 2,422 in October 2025, and reported a 225% rise.

Its domestic breakdown included 12,030 HCV trucks, up 12%; 7,213 ILMCV trucks, up 17%; 3,826 passenger carriers, up 20%; and 16,715 SCV cargo and pickup sales, up 11%.

The passenger-vehicle release labels its international category “PV IB,” while the commercial-vehicle document says “International Business.” Neither document names destination markets or establishes that every unit in those categories was an export. The high percentage increases reflect modest October 2025 bases: 161 passenger vehicles and 2,422 commercial vehicles.

The releases cover two separately listed businesses following Tata’s restructuring. The releases did not explain what drove October’s growth.
