Tata Motors kicked off 2025 with a decent showing, selling 92,994 vehicles in March 2025—a modest 0.5% bump from 92,559 units last year. But the real story in the Tata Motors car sales March 2025 India numbers lies in its passenger vehicles (PVs), which climbed 3% year-on-year (YoY) to 51,872 units. Still, a slip to No. 3 in the rankings has raised some eyebrows.
Key Sales Data
Breaking Down the Figures
Tata’s PV sales, including EVs, hit 51,872 units, up from 50,341 units in March 2024. That’s a solid 11.7% month-on-month (MoM) jump from February 2025’s 46,437 units, while total sales grew 10.4% MoM from 84,228 units. Exports also soared 44% to 2,494 units, a bright spot. For FY25, PV sales landed at 5,56,263 units, down 3% YoY, with SUVs like the Punch and Nexon CNG leading the pack. But EV sales? They dropped 21% YoY in March, with FY25 EV sales at 64,276 units, down 13% YoY.
Where Tata Stands Against Rivals
Tata slipped to No. 3, as Hyundai snagged No. 2 with 51,820 domestic sales—just 204 units ahead of Tata’s 51,616. Maruti Suzuki stayed on top with 1,92,984 units (up 3% YoY), Mahindra sold 83,894 units (48,048 SUVs, up 18% YoY), and Kia moved 25,525 units (up 19.3% YoY). Tata’s SUV sales were strong, but Mahindra’s UV volume kept it ahead in that segment.
What’s Behind the Numbers?
Tata’s PV growth shows buyers still love its SUVs, but the 21% EV sales drop is a red flag. Tata holds a 56% EV market share, yet it’s losing steam—maybe buyers are waiting for the Harrier EV? A 4% price hike in April 2025 likely drove the MoM spike, as folks rushed to buy early.
What’s Next?
The Tata Motors car sales March 2025 India data paints a picture of steady growth, but that No. 3 spot stings. With Hyundai breathing down its neck and Maruti way ahead, can Tata’s EV lineup—like the upcoming Sierra—spark a comeback? We’ll be watching.
