Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles’ Punch and Nexon emerged as India’s two highest-selling passenger vehicles by wholesale dispatches in June 2026, helping the automaker retain the second position in the domestic passenger-vehicle market during the month.

The Punch recorded wholesales of 21,006 units, while the Nexon followed with 18,335 units, according to model-wise industry data. The two Tata SUVs finished ahead of the Maruti Suzuki Dzire, which clocked 17,899 units, and the WagonR, at 16,952 units.

Together, the Punch and Nexon contributed 39,341 units, accounting for over 63% of Tata Motors’ domestic passenger-vehicle wholesales of 62,076 units during June.

Tata’s domestic passenger-vehicle dispatches increased 67% from 37,083 units in June 2025. Including exports, total sales rose 69% to 63,083 units from 37,237 units a year earlier.
