Speaking on the passenger car sales trend, Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility said, “Tata Motors set several new records in a challenging year, disrupted by two waves of Covid, semiconductor crisis and steep increase in commodity prices. We posted the highest ever annual, quarterly and monthly sales, supported by a strong demand for our New Forever range and agile actions taken on the supply side.”
The auto major also ended the financial year with the highest ever SUV sales of 29,559 units. Chandra added a note of caution about the new financial year and highlighted the challenges ahead, “Going forward, semiconductor situation remains uncertain. We will continue to monitor the evolving situation closely and are refining our agile, multi-pronged approach to continue to fulfil customer orders.”
