The Indian auto sector closed the first quarter of the new financial year on a resoundingly positive note, with a clutch of manufacturers reporting strong June 2026 sales growth, led by an electric-vehicle-driven surge from Tata Motors and a record-breaking month for JSW MG Motor India.
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. posted its strongest month of the quarter, selling 63,083 cars and SUVs in June 2026, up 69 per cent year-on-year compared with 37,237 units in June 2025.
TMPV sold a record 14,800 EVs in June, nearly tripling its year-ago volumes. For the full Q1 FY27, the company registered 182,574 units, up 46 per cent year-on-year, with EV sales more than doubling to 34,467 units, a 112 per cent jump.
TMPV Managing Director Shailesh Chandra attributed the momentum to strong demand for the recently launched Tiago and Punch variants, alongside continued traction in the entry-level EV segment.
MG sets a new record
JSW MG Motor India logged its best-ever monthly performance, with wholesale sales rising 30 per cent year-on-year to 7,568 units, driven by electric vehicles, which accounted for over 75 per cent of total sales.
The company attributed the EV surge to rising fuel prices, lower running costs and geopolitical uncertainty in West Asia.
Toyota Kirloskar Motor reported steadier growth of 7 per cent, selling 31,016 units against 28,869 units a year earlier, with domestic sales up 8 per cent at 28,441 units and exports rising 7 per cent, to 2,575 units.
Meanwhile, Skoda Auto India notched its best-ever half-yearly performance, with 38,894 units sold in H1 2026, up 7.5 per cent year-on-year, powered by demand for the Kushaq, Kodiaq, Kodiaq RS and Kylaq.
