Growing demand for SUVs and electric vehicles helped both automakers deliver strong sales growth in June and Q1 FY27.
Tata Motors and Kia India have reported a strong surge in passenger vehicle sales at the end of the first quarter of FY27, driven by growing demand for SUVs and electric vehicles.
Tata Motors Clocks 46% Q1 Growth, Achieves Highest EV Share
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles recorded sales of 1,82,574 cars and SUVs in Q1 FY27. This represents a 46 percent increase over 1,24,809 units sold in Q1 FY26. June alone saw sales of 63,083 units, up 69 percent compared to June 2025.
EV sales reached 34,467 units during the quarter, while June recorded an all-time monthly high of 14,800 EVs sold. EVs now account for 23 percent of Tata’s passenger vehicle sales, with one out of every three bookings reportedly being for an electric vehicle.
The strong performance was driven by robust demand for recently launched models such as the Tiago and Punch, while bookings for the Tata Sierra EV have also remained encouraging.
Kia Reports Record June Sales
Kia India also posted its best-ever June sales since entering the Indian market. The company sold 24,552 units during the month, registering a 19 percent increase over 20,625 units dispatched in June last year.
In the first half of 2026, Kia India recorded cumulative sales of 1,63,749 units, representing a 15.2 percent year-on-year increase and the company’s highest-ever H1 sales.
According to Kia, sustained demand for the Seltos, Sonet, Carens Clavis, and MY26 Syros contributed significantly to the growth in volumes. The company also credited rising customer interest in the Clavis EV, supported by favourable EV policies and its new Battery as a Service (BaaS) offering.
Tata Motors and Kia India enter the second half of 2026 with strong sales momentum, expanding product portfolios, and growing customer demand.
