In June, commercial vehicle and passenger vehicle wholesale volumes rose sequentially by about 14% and 4% respectively. However, Q1FY23 commercial vehicle volumes declined by 16% sequentially while passenger vehicle volumes rose by about 6%. Also, as electric cars are seen to be the future of the auto industry, Tata Motors has doubled down on its investments in the segment.
Last month, Tata Motors and Japanese chip manufacturer, Renesas Electronics, said they are partnering to design and develop semiconductors. The tie-up will help Tata Motors tide over the global auto chips crunch that has affected its earnings and resulted in production cuts and even temporary plant shutdowns.
