Girish Wagh, President, Commercial Vehicles Business Unit, Tata Motors Ltd. said, “Cumulatively, commercial vehicle domestic sale for FY20 at 3,10,855 units was -34% lower than FY19. Retail was 16% higher than offtake for the entire year. Domestic sales in March 2020 was 5,336 units, deeply impacted by the COVID19 lockdown as well as the planned transition to BSVI. Retail sales was significantly ahead of wholesales (>300%).Almost all BSIV vehicles in the ecosystem have been retailed, however, some await registration which was halted due to the lockdown. This will be cleared in the window provided. Production of BSVI vehicles was on track and we have wholesaled the initial few BSVI vehicles. Our focus is to secure the extensive business continuity plan including ensuring full support to all our customers in need, particularly those who are transporting the essential goods during this challenging period.”
