Tata Motors Boosts Sales with New Model Launches

TATA Punch: TATA Motors has emerged as the third best-selling automaker in September 2024, achieving a remarkable 14 percent year-on-year growth in sales. The company sold 50,105 units in September 2024, up from 44,047 units in the same month last year.

However, there was a slight month-on-month decline of 2%, as sales dipped from 51,270 units in August 2024.
