The Nexon continues to be one of Tata Motors' most important models, offering petrol, diesel and electric powertrain options in the Indian market.

On a month-on-month basis, sales increased slightly from 20,333 units in September 2026.
The Punch continues to attract buyers looking for an affordable SUV-style vehicle with a practical cabin, modern features and multiple powertrain choices.

However, sales declined by around 9% compared to 8,850 units in October 2025.

The Sierra has strengthened Tata Motors' SUV portfolio with its distinctive design, modern interior and feature-rich package. Its contribution also highlights the demand for new-generation SUVs in the Indian market.
As the model did not have comparable October 2025 sales, year-on-year growth is not applicable.
The Tata Aeris recorded 4,005 units in October 2026. Compared to 2,406 units in September 2026, sales increased by approximately 66%.
The Aeris is part of Tata Motors' updated passenger vehicle portfolio and replaced the Tigor in the company's lineup in September 2026.

Both models continue to contribute to Tata Motors' passenger vehicle portfolio, although their October annual sales performance remained comparatively weaker.
The Tata Curvv recorded 2,377 units in October 2026, compared to 1,432 units in October 2025.
This represents an impressive year-on-year growth of approximately 66%.

The Tata Tigor registered 334 units in October 2026, compared to 1,196 units in October 2025.
This represents a significant year-on-year decline of approximately 72%. The Tigor's contribution has reduced following the introduction of the Aeris, which replaced it in Tata's updated compact car lineup.
Tata Motors delivered a strong passenger vehicle performance in October 2026, with domestic dispatches increasing by 21% year-on-year to 73,894 units.
The Nexon retained its position as the company's best-selling model, while the Punch continued to deliver strong growth. The Sierra and Aeris also contributed to the monthly sales performance, while the Curvv recorded impressive annual growth.
