The Indian Commercial Vehicle industry experienced mixedtrends in FY25, influenced by macroeconomic cautionand evolving market dynamics. The industry registeredyear-on-year a marginal decline of approximately 1%, largelydue to a slowdown in the Heavy Commercial Vehicle ('HCV')and Small Commercial Vehicle ('SCV') segments, particularly
during the second quarter. Demand remained measured inthe lead-up to state and general elections, contributing to amoderation in overall volumes.
The bus segment, however continued to perform steadily,supported by sustained government investments in publictransportation and the gradual shift toward electric mobility.SCVs and pickups faced challenges arising from muted ruraldemand and tighter credit availability, which impactedretail momentum. Electric commercial vehicles witnessedgrowing interest, particularly in the bus and last-mile deliverysegments, aided by the progression of public tenders andimproving Total Cost of Ownership (TCO) economics.
At the broader industry level, infrastructure investments andincreased adoption of digital tools supported operationalefficiencies and influenced fleet replacement decisions.The continued transition toward cleaner mobility, includingelectric, Compressed Natural Gas ('CNG') and alternative fuelvehicles, remained a key consideration in Original EquipmentManufacturer ('OEM') strategies.
Please refer to the paragraph on Commercial Vehicles inIndia in the Management Discussion & Analysis section of theIntegrated Annual Report for detailed analysis.
The Indian Passenger Vehicle ('PV') industry witnessed amodest 2% growth in FY25, following three consecutive yearsof growth, reaching 4.3 million units of sales. The segmentalshifts in the industry continued to gain momentum, withSport Utility Vehicle ('SUVs') accounting for 55% of the newindustry sales, while hatches and sedans remained understress. Notably, demand for emission-friendly CNG vehiclesremained robust, recording a 35% increase over FY24.
In FY25, the PV business (including Electric Vehicles), achievedsales of 5,56,367 units, including 2,693 units of sales in exports.The PV business outperformed the industry, registering 11%and 60% growth in the SUV and CNG segments, respectively,compared to FY24. The launches of Tata Curvv and TataNexon CNG has been well received by the market, while theTata Punch emerged as the #1 car in India in CY24.
The Indian Electric Vehicle ('EV') industry experienced amoderation in growth in FY25, registering a 14% growthover FY24. This slowdown was driven by negative customersentiments towards EVs in the first half of the year, as wellas sharp decline in the EV fleet segment following expiry ofthe FAME II incentive program. However, the latter half of theyear saw a renewed promise in the EV industry, with more
participants entering in the market and leading to greatercustomer traction and strengthening of the overall ecosystem.
In FY25, the EV business sustained its market leadershipposition, commanding over 55% market share of the EVIndustry. The business launched Curvv.ev, which received agood review from the market and strengthened Nexon.evwith the introduction of 45kWH battery pack.
