Commercial Vehicles (Rs.CVRs.)

The Indian CV Industry continued the growth trajectory and overall, the industry saw a robust growth of 34% in wholesale and 38% by VAHAN registrations in FY 2022-23. This growth was primarily led by the Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicle (Rs.M&HCVsRs.) (+52.4% vs FY 2022-23) and continued robust recovery in passenger carriers (+155% in FY 2022-23). This growth was catalysed by robust demand for heavy trucks required to service the strong infrastructure push by the Government of India and increased activity in e-commerce, construction, and mining. Higher replacement demand, advance buying in anticipation of price hikes, further buoyed the demand in Q4 FY 2022-23. Overall, Tata Motors CV domestic sale in FY 2022-23 was 22% higher than in FY 2021-22, while domestic VAHAN registrations volumes were 29% higher than FY 2021-22.

In FY 2022-23 the export shipments were 42% lower than FY 2021-22, while revenue was down by 22% due to improved mix. Major drop was witnessed in the SAARC region (-62%) driven by Total Industry Volume (Rs.TIVRs.) softening, forex shortages, and liquidity crunch in the latter half of the year. MENA and ASEAN regions witnessed 6% y-o-y growth in exports. The business retained or grew its market share and also sequentially improved margins across most markets.

Domestic wholesale volumes were 539K and VAHAN market share stood at 13.5% in FY 2022-23, an increase of 210bps vis-a-vis FY 2021-22.
