Cumulative domestic sales of the company for the 2017-18 fiscal stood at 5,86,639 units, up 23 per cent, over 4,78,362 vehicles sold in 2016-17.
Domestic sales of Tata Motors’ commercial vehicles grew 37 per cent to 49,174 units in March from 35,876 units in the same month previous year.

Sales of passenger vehicles in the domestic market grew 31 per cent to 20,266 units last month on the back of increasing demand from Tiago and Tigor, along with Nexon and Hexa gaining traction in the steadily growing UV segment, it added.
