The company sold 299,664 vehicles during the April–June quarter, down from 329,847 units in the same period last year, according to a regulatory filing on Tuesday.
Wholesales for Tata Motors’ commercial vehicles, including the Tata Daewoo range, totaled 87,569 units for the quarter, representing a 6% drop compared to Q1 FY25.
Global wholesales of passenger vehicles also saw a 10% decline, falling to 124,809 units year-over-year.
Jaguar Land Rover posted total global wholesales of 87,286 units during the quarter, an 11% decrease from the same period last year. Jaguar sales accounted for 2,339 units, while Land Rover contributed 84,947 units.
