The strong October sales were heavily influenced by the peak festive season and the recent GST rate revisions. Tata Motors effectively capitalised on this buoyant retail demand, achieving an 81% month-on-month (MoM) growth in retail sales and surpassing both Mahindra and Hyundai in the retail space for the month, according to FADA VAHAN data.
