Tata Motors reports sales growth for April 2022 at 65.72 percent; MoM sales decline
At a time when almost every manufacturer is suffering from parts / chips shortage, and thereby losing on production – Tata Motors has managed to double their sales. Their lineup of small cars, hatchbacks, SUVs and EVs have managed to garner huge interest among buyers over the last few months.

In the months to come, Tata Motors’ expects EV sales to be consistent, and upward with production targets set to increase.
In strengthening its EV platform, Tata Motors last month showcased two new concepts. The first being Tata Curvv, and most recently Tata Avinya.

Harrier, Safari, Tiago, Tigor, Altroz, Punch, Nexon – have all become costlier than before. Latest price hike does not come with price protection.
Tata Motors electric cars sales
EV penetration where passenger cars are concerned is still low in India. In the region of 1 percent. However, plans for this decade point to a totally new mobility scene by the end of the decade. EV penetration in 2030 is estimated at 30 percent. Currently, Tata Motors dominates the space with Nexon EV and Tigor EV. Tata builds on price competitiveness when customers opt to make the leap.
Given expected growth trends, Tata Motors’ intends to build on its early mover advantage. This of course will widen the scope of the electric car industry with new launches expected. For now, Tata Motors’ is set to launch its long-range Nexon EV SUV that’s estimated to go 450 kms on a single charge, most likely a powerful 6.6 kW AC Charger.
