Tata Motors October sales at 42,819 nos.
Mumbai, November 1, 2014:Tata Motors' total sales (including exports) of Tata commercial and passenger vehicles in October 2014 were 42,819 vehicles, a decline of 17% over 51,638 vehicles sold in October 2013. The company's domestic sales of Tata commercial and passenger vehicles for October 2014 were 38,760 nos., 17% decline over 46,926 nos., sold in October last year. The decline was largely as the market continues to remain challenged by macroeconomic trends: while segments such as M&HCV showed a 30% growth year-on-year, other segments such as the LCV sales continues to remain impacted by stringent financial rates and low consumer sentiment.
Cumulative sales (including exports) for the company for the fiscal are 279,489 nos., lower by 22% over 356,380 nos., sold last year.
Passenger Vehicles
The trend of growth primarily driven by new launches continued - with the strong Zest sales, Tata Motors saw its sedan segment sales shoot by 49% year-on-year (and continued to show a month-on-month growth).

Sales of all Tata Motors passenger vehicles for October 2014 were at 11,511 nos., lower by 19% over 14,133 vehicles sold in October 2013.
