New Delhi, Mar 16: Tata Motors on Monday announced that it will increase prices of its commercial vehicles by up to 1.5 per cent, with the revised rates coming into effect from April 1.

The company said the price hike is aimed at partially offsetting rising commodity prices and higher input costs, which have been putting pressure on manufacturing expenses. The increase will vary depending on the model and variant of the vehicle.

Earlier in February, Shailesh Chandra, managing director and ceo of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, had noted that the company has been dealing with elevated input costs for nearly a year, making a price revision necessary. He said the surge in prices of commodities such as precious metals and copper has significantly impacted the company’s cost structure.

Meanwhile, the automaker reported strong sales growth in February 2026, with total sales rising 32 per cent year-on-year. The company sold 42,940 vehicles in domestic and international markets, compared with 32,533 units in February 2025.

Domestic sales reached 40,893 units, marking a 32.8 per cent increase from 30,797 units in the same month last year. International sales also grew 17.9 per cent to 2,047 units, up from 1,736 units in February 2025.

Growth was largely driven by demand across multiple truck segments. Sales of heavy commercial vehicle (HCV) trucks rose 37.1 per cent to 13,559 units, while intermediate, light and medium commercial vehicle (ILMCV) trucks increased 34.1 per cent to 7,577 units.

In January 2026, the company had also recorded strong performance, with total sales — including electric vehicles (EVs) — reaching 71,066 units, reflecting a 47.1 per cent rise compared with 48,316 units sold in January 2025.
