The demand for light, medium, and heavy commercial vehicles (CVs) is largely driven by a number of reasons, including the growth of e-commerce, technological advancements, and government initiatives in India. Many government incentives have also raised the demand for electric commercial cars. A number of Indian automakers have made investments in the development of electric commercial vehicle technologies, including Mahindra, Eicher, Ashok Leyland, and Tata Motors.
The largest truck and bus maker in India, Tata Motors, reported retail sales of 31,915 units in February 2024, a decrease from 31,958 units sold in the same month the previous year. As of right now, the corporation holds a 36.12% market share.
The company offers the Signa and Ace series in the medium and small CV categories, which experience the most demand in the nation, and the Prima series in the heavy-duty truck market. Along with the Intra V50 and Ace Diesel series, the business unveiled the new Tata Intra V70, Intra V20 Gold, and Ace HT+ at the end of the previous year.
