Tata Motors Limited has recorded a total cumulative domestic sale of 26,661 units in the month of May 2021. The figures are 38 per cent lower when compared to the business done by the Indian automaker in April 2021.

The total sales are broadly divided into commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles categories. In the passenger vehicles segment, the company retailed 15,181 units in the previous month which is a decline of 40 per cent as against 25,095 units sold in April 2021.
