Tata Motors Accelerates Growth: 24% Surge in MHCV Wholesales in Q2FY24

Tata Motors, a Mumbai-based automotive giant, has reported a substantial 24% increase in the wholesale of medium- and heavy-duty commercial vehicles (MHCV) during the second quarter of fiscal year 2023. A number of causes, including as a government-led infrastructure push, replacement demand, expansion in key sectors, and continued growth in the e-commerce business, are responsible for this increase in sales.

Tata Motors has intentionally increased its capacity for producing electric buses in order to take advantage of the rising demand for these vehicles. The business and other key players approached competing for government bids for electric buses warily because they were concerned about the capacity of state transport units (STUs) to sustain their financial viability and meet their payment commitments.
