What the management says about Tata Motors Results
Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd & Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Limited said: Demand for passenger vehicles continued to stay strong in Q1 FY23 even as the supply side remained moderately impacted. Overcoming all challenges, Tata Motors consistently set new sales records every month in passenger vehicle to record the highest ever wholesales and production of ~130,000 vehicles, twice as compared to Q1FY22.
Electric vehicle sales too scaled new peaks month-on-month to deliver over 440% growth in Q1 FY23 versus Q1 FY22. During the quarter, we presented two new, future oriented, sustainable mobility concepts- ‘Curvv’ and ‘AVINYA’ that will introduce India to new vehicle typographies and experiences. While the ‘Curvv’, will be launched first as an EV and thereafter with internal combustion engine, ‘AVINYA’ is our vision of a pure electric vehicle that offers unparalleled roominess and comfort; delivers wellness with a premium experience; and comes packed with new age technology. We also launched the Nexon EV Max in Q1 FY23 and are seeing a robust demand for this extension of India’s best-selling EV.
Going forward, we expect the supply side, including that of critical electronic components to progressively improve. We continue to monitor the evolving demand and supply situation and will stay nimble to take necessary actions swiftly.”
