Tata Motors Sales May 2026: 87,707 Units, +31.0% YoY
Full Vahan registration report for Tata Motors in May 2026 — total volume, year-on-year and month-on-month change, where it ranks against every other manufacturer, and the segment and fuel mix behind the number.
Tata Motors in May 2026
Tata Motors registered 87,707 vehicles in India in May 2026. Volume climbed sharply 31.0% against May 2025 and fell back 11.7% against April. Its best month on record remains October 2025 at 1,15,993.
Of those, 55,408 were cars and UVs (63.2% of the total), +43.9% on May 2025. That figure is exact: it is counted with Vahan's own vehicle-class filter rather than worked out from the company total.
That put Tata Motors 8th among every manufacturer registering vehicles in India in May 2026, behind Suzuki 2W on 99,253 and ahead of Royal Enfield on 87,187.
Measured against every vehicle registered in India that month — all segments, all fuels — that is 3.4% of the market, +0.51pp against May 2025.
Across 2026 to date — the 5 months of the year that have closed — the company has registered 5,00,670 vehicles, +28.4% on the same months of 2025.
Tata Motors monthly registrations
Every calendar year on record, month by month. The dashed end of the current year is the month so far.
How the group splits
Vahan files Tata Motors as 3 separate manufacturers, so the headline above is their sum. Tata Motors (PV) is the largest of them in May 2026 at 44,858 registrations, 51.1% of the group total.
Each row is a manufacturer name as the registration database itself records it.
| Entity | May 2026 | Share of group | YoY |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tata Motors (PV) | 44,858 | 51.1% | +32.7% |
| Tata Motors | 31,852 | 36.3% | +13.4% |
| Tata Motors (EV) | 10,997 | 12.5% | +116.9% |
What Tata Motors sells
61.7% of everything Tata Motors has registered in 2026 is in cars and UVs, and the company holds 14.8% of that segment nationally. Goods carriers is next at 31.1%.
This split is the calendar year to date and cannot be cut to a single month: our Vahan data holds a manufacturer's volume by month, and its volume by vehicle class, but not the two together. Multiplying them would be a guess, so the table stays on the axis where the number is exact.

Fuel mix
12.9% of Tata Motors's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 1,21,430 vehicles, against 8.6% in 2025.
Fuel, like segment, is published against the manufacturer for the whole year rather than by month, so these shares are 2026 to date. Hybrids are counted separately from battery electrics.
| Fuel | 2026 units | Share | vs 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 2,71,321 | 28.9% | −3.71pp |
| Diesel | 3,30,516 | 35.2% | −0.24pp |
| CNG / LPG | 2,15,029 | 22.9% | −0.41pp |
| Electric | 1,21,430 | 12.9% | +4.34pp |
| Hybrid | 1 | 0.0% | 0.00pp |
| Other | 204 | 0.0% | +0.02pp |
Every manufacturer, May 2026
Ranked on total registrations across every vehicle type, which is the finest manufacturer split our Vahan data holds with a month axis. Two-wheeler makers therefore sit above carmakers selling far more value — this is a count of vehicles, not of revenue.

More from the reports desk
Source. Every figure is a vehicle registration, taken daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source FADA and the industry use for retail data. Registrations are not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. "EV" means battery electric (Vahan fuels PURE EV and ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately.
