Industry-wise, management expects demand to strengthen further in Q4 FY26, aided by the government’s sustained infrastructure push and improving activity across end-use sectors. With an optimised product portfolio, pricing discipline and deeper customer engagement, Tata Motors expects to remain well positioned to capture incremental CV demand.

Girish Wagh, MD & CEO, Tata Motors said: "Disciplined execution of an agile strategy delivered yet another strong financial performance this quarter, supported by demand tailwinds from GST 2.0 and the festive season. Our recent launch of 17 next-generation trucks under the ‘Better Always’ philosophy sets new benchmarks in safety, total cost of ownership, and smarter, emission-free mobility, reinforcing our commitment to innovation and industry leadership. With infrastructure spending accelerating, we are well positioned to sustain momentum and drive continued growth."

GV Ramanan, CFO, Tata Motors said: "We delivered another strong quarter, translating robust operational execution and healthy demand across key segments into meaningful financial outcomes. The quarter marked significant milestones, including our 10th consecutive quarter of double-digit EBITDA margins and achievement of double-digit EBIT margins. This strong operating performance coupled with disciplined working capital management, led to robust free cash flow generation. With this trajectory, we remain confident of delivering on our stated financial guidance."
