Tata Motors sold 75,426 passenger vehicles across domestic and international markets in October 2026, a rise of 23% from 61,295 units a year earlier, according to the company's monthly figures.

The domestic business delivered 73,894 units, up 21% from 61,134 units in October 2025. Electric vehicle sales, both domestic and overseas, rose 75% to 16,244 units from 9,286. That added almost 7,000 units year on year and took EVs to more than a fifth of Tata's passenger vehicle sales for the month.

Exports grew fastest in percentage terms. Tata shipped 1,532 vehicles overseas, compared with 161 in October 2025, an increase of 852%.

Factories dispatched 73,338 cars and SUVs to showrooms, including 16,244 EVs. This figure measures wholesales, meaning vehicles sent from factories to dealers, and differs from the 73,894 domestic units in the company-level data. Both measures put the year-on-year growth at about 21%.

Ranking and year-to-date totals

Tata finished second in October behind Maruti Suzuki, which sold 212,384 passenger vehicles, and was 556 units ahead of Mahindra. Mahindra reported 73,338 units, up 2%. Maruti and Mahindra also posted their highest monthly sales.

For January to October 2026, Tata has sold 649,477 units, which keeps it second in the calendar year to date. Mahindra has 615,280 units over the same period. Tata's first-quarter sales of 198,743 units were its strongest quarter so far this year.

October's total was only the second time Tata has passed 70,000 monthly units, after January 2026. That month it sold 70,222 units.

What comes next

November falls in the festive season and could bring higher numbers, and the October-December quarter may top 200,000 units. The company has not given a forecast, and the final figures for the quarter are not yet known.
