Tata Motors' Sales Decline by 13% for November

With the sales pattern emerging for various car companies for the month of November, Tata Motors has observed a decline of 13 per cent. The monthly comparison is done with respect to the corresponding month last year.

The Indian carmaker was able to sell only 10,517 units in November as compared to 12,021 units last year. This 13% decline is mainly because of the poor performance of cars like Safari, Safari Storme, Aria, Sumo and the Movus in the SUV segment. The combined sales for the mentioned cars amounts to just 1,345 units and witnessed a decline of 22%. The scenario for sedans is even grimmer as the company was able to sell only 3,351 units in this category as compared to 5,920 units last year which is a decline of 43%.
