Tata Motors Ltd garners over half of its sales from powertrain options in the alternative fuel segment, namely electric and compressed natural gas (CNG), in models where it provides these options, according to data reviewed by Mint. This is primarily attributed to the availability of models equipped with these fuel alternatives.

The homegrown automotive major’s electric and CNG variants saw hatchback Tiago and compact sedan Tigor contribute 54% to its overall combined sales of the two models between January 2023 and April 2023.

In a recent interview with Mint, Shailesh Chandra, managing director of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility Ltd, said the Tiago EV, introduced last December, has surpassed Tata’s flagship EV, the Nexon, and accounts for an impressive 35% of Tiago’s total sales. Furthermore, an additional 23% of the sales are attributed to the CNG version of the vehicle.
