New Delhi: Tata Motors has announced that it will increase prices across its commercial vehicle (CV) range by up to 1.5 per cent, effective from April 1, 2026. The move comes as the company seeks to partially offset rising commodity prices and higher input costs, officials said.

The price revision will vary depending on the model and variant, according to a company statement.

Rising input costs drive price hike

Shailesh Chandra had earlier indicated that Tata Motors has faced elevated input costs for nearly a year, particularly due to the rise in precious metals and copper prices, which have added pressure to the company’s cost structure.

“Given sustained increases in commodity prices and other production inputs, a modest price revision across our commercial vehicle portfolio is necessary,” Chandra said.

Strong sales growth despite cost pressures

Despite the price adjustment, Tata Motors continues to report strong sales growth. The company posted a 32 per cent year-on-year rise in total sales for February 2026, selling 42,940 vehicles in domestic and international markets, up from 32,533 units in February 2025.

Domestic sales reached 40,893 units, a 32.8 per cent increase from 30,797 units a year earlier. International sales also showed improvement, rising 17.9 per cent to 2,047 units compared with 1,736 units last February.

The growth was led by strong performance across the company’s truck and commercial vehicle segments.

  • Heavy commercial vehicles (HCVs) saw sales jump 37.1 per cent to 13,559 units from 9,892 units.
  • Intermediate, light and medium commercial vehicles (ILMCVs) recorded a 34.1 per cent increase, with 7,577 units sold compared to 5,652 units in February 2025.

The company attributed the growth to strong performance across its truck, light commercial vehicle, and EV segments, signalling continued resilience despite rising input costs.
