Girish Wagh, MD & CEO, Tata Motors Ltd. said,"The commercial vehicle industry remained resilient in Q1 FY27, supported by India's strong economic fundamentals, healthy fleet utilization, and sustained demand across key sectors. Tata Motors delivered a strong quarter, with volumes growing 26% year-on-year, driven by a winning portfolio, focused market interventions, and disciplined execution. These efforts helped us strengthen customer preference and further consolidate our market position.
Our ecosystem-led approach to electrification continued to gain momentum, reflected in a growing order pipeline across segments. The eSCV segment recorded its strongest-ever performance, achieving ~10% salience during May and June and ~47% market share in Q1, underscoring the increasing adoption of electric commercial vehicles and the strength of our integrated EV ecosystem.
Looking ahead, supported by a robust product portfolio, continued innovation, and a relentless focus on delivering better customer value, we remain confident of strengthening our market leadership and delivering sustainable, profitable growth in the following quarters."
GV Ramanan, CFO, Tata Motors Ltd. said,“Q1FY27 was a strong quarter, with healthy growth in revenue, profitability and an EBITDA margin of 11.7% despite severe commodity headwinds amidst geopolitical tensions. Free cash flow for the quarter was robust at ₹1.1K crore. This performance reflects improved business fundamentals, continued working capital management, and sustained financial discipline across the organization. While commodity pressure continues to persist, we remain confident in our ability to navigate the environment through operational efficiencies, pricing discipline, and proactive supply chain management to deliver resilient margins and profitable growth.”
Tata Motors started FY27 on a strong note, with higher CV volumes, revenue growth, improved cash flow and stronger market share. The company also expanded its CV portfolio with three new launches and continued to build momentum in electric commercial vehicles.
However, commodity costs remain a challenge. Going forward, Tata Motors will focus on new products, EV growth, exports, cost control and customer value to support sustainable growth in the coming quarters.
