Tata Motors recorded its highest-ever monthly sales with 71,066 units in January 2026.
Domestic sales fueled the surge, complemented by a significant 251.7% increase in exports.
The EV segment showed robust growth, solidifying Tata Motors' market leadership in India.
Straight up. Tata Motors began 2026 at full throttle. In January alone, it sold 71,066 units. The highest monthly figure in the company’s history. No build-up. Just a result.
The Indian market did most of the pushing here. Domestic sales stood at 70,222 units. Last year, this number was much lower. Simple takeaway. Showrooms were busy. Deliveries were happening back to back. Exports moved too. Without much noise, but the jump is hard to miss. From 240 units to 844. Tata is no longer treating overseas markets casually.

EVs Are Strong, Expectations Even Stronger
In the EV space, Tata Motors still leads the Indian market. January saw over 9,000 electric cars sold. Last year, this figure was closer to 5,200. Growth is clear.

But scale brings pressure. When EV volumes were small, minor software issues were forgiven. Not anymore. Every bug, every delay gets noticed. That’s the price of being the leader.
Nexon and Punch Are Holding the Fort
The Nexon once again did the heavy lifting. Over 23,000 units sold in a single month. Best-ever performance. And it crossed the 10 lakh cumulative sales milestone. This isn’t luck.
The Punch followed closely. Around 19,000 units in January and 7 lakh cumulative sales in only over 4 years. Urban customers wanted something compact, hard-looking, and easy to stay with.
The Tiago quietly crossed 7 lakh cumulative sales. Simple car. Steady demand. The Sierra created buzz the moment it launched. Deliveries began in January, and demand already seems ahead of supply. Nostalgia is playing its part.

Looking ahead, Sierra EV, Punch EV facelift, Tiago EV facelift, and a next-generation Nexon are all lined up. January’s numbers send a strong signal. Now it’s about how cleanly Tata Motors carries this momentum forward.
