Tata Motors, one of the leading passenger vehicle and commercial vehicle manufacturers in the country, has announced its wholesales for June 2025 and Q1 FY2026.

The company reported that its total PV sales came at 124,809 units in Q1 FY2026, down 10 percent from Q1 FY2025 on a YoY basis. Domestic PV sales, including EVs, came at 123,839 units, down 10 percent YoY. For June, PV sales came at 37,083 units, down 15 percent compared to the same period last year.

Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said, “In Q1 FY2026, the passenger vehicle industry experienced volume pressures, particularly in May and June, with flat growth reflecting continued softness in demand."

"The electric vehicle segment emerged a bright spot, driven by robust growth and the launch of new EV models across OEMs, enhancing customer interest and consideration. Tata Motors reported wholesales of 124,809 units in Q1 FY2026, including 16,231 EV units, underscoring our commitment to aligning wholesale and registration volumes. EV sales gained strong momentum towards the end of the quarter with a healthy growth trajectory. The refreshed Tiago posted 16 percent YoY volume growth in Q1 FY2026 and new launches – Altroz and Harrier.ev – saw a positive market response, with their full impact expected in the coming months,” he said.

On the other hand, Tata Motors’ commercial vehicle (CV) business reported sales of 85,606 units, down 6 percent YoY for Q1 FY2026. Domestic CV sales at 79,572 units, were down 9 percent as compared to Q1 FY2025.

In June 2025 alone, total CV sales came at 30,238 units, which is 5 percent lower than June 2024. In the domestic market, the demand for Medium and Heavy Commercial Vehicles (MH&ICV) came at 12,871 units, as against  4,640 units for the same period last year. During Q1 FY26, MH&ICV domestic sales were 37,370 units as against 40,349 units in Q1 FY25.

Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors, said, “Q1 FY26 began on a subdued note for the commercial vehicle industry with muted performance in the HCV and SCVPU segments while buses, vans and ILMCVs registered modest year-on-year growth. Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles recorded domestic sales of 79,572 units, 9.2 percent decline compared to Q1 FY25."

"However, June 2025 witnessed a sequential growth of 8 percent over May 2025. Additionally, our International Business delivered a robust 67.9 percent growth in volumes over Q1 FY25. During the quarter, we launched India’s most affordable mini-truck, the Ace Pro, offered in petrol, bi-fuel and electric powertrains, which received an encouraging market response. We enhanced driver comfort by introducing air-conditioned cabins across our entire range of light to heavy trucks. We also expanded our international footprint by entering Egypt and expanded our offerings for the Middle East North African region,” Wagh added.

Going forward, Wagh stated that with forecasts for a healthy monsoon across the country, a reduction in repo rate and renewed thrust on infrastructure development, will bring back sales momentum for the commercial vehicles segment.

Chandra too shared his optimism for the PV market and stated, “Looking ahead, while overall industry growth is expected to remain subdued, Tata Motors is well positioned to leverage its new launches to outperform across segments—including hatchbacks and SUVs, while continuing to build on the EV momentum.”

Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) has launched a new brand campaign ahead of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, featuring its brand ambassadors Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues. The campaign builds on the success of the earlier men’s World Cup initiative titled ‘Deewane India ka Deewana Humsafar’ but presents a distinct narrative focused on celebrating the rising support and admiration for women’s cricket in India.

The campaign directly challenges the traditional label of cricket as a gentleman’s game with the bold message that the ‘gentle’ has been removed from the sport. Through strong visuals, it highlights the determination, skill and barrier-breaking performances of women cricketers, showing how their passion is transforming the game and deepening India’s love for cricket.

As a Premier Partner of the ICC, HMIL plans to engage fans during the tournament with curated digital content and targeted outreach. These efforts aim to amplify the excitement of the Women’s T20 World Cup, bring fans closer to the action and strengthen Hyundai’s emotional connection with cricket enthusiasts.

Virat Khullar, Head – Marketing, Hyundai Motor India Limited, said, “At Hyundai, we believe sport has the power to unite communities, inspire dreams and create meaningful connections. The overwhelming response to our ‘Deewane India Ka Deewana Humsafar’ campaign reaffirmed the deep emotional bond between cricket and its fans. With the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, we are proud to celebrate a new chapter of this passion by recognising the growing influence of women’s cricket and the millions of fans who continue to champion the game. This campaign aims to celebrate that shift and spotlight the incredible journeys of players like Smriti Mandhana and Jemimah Rodrigues, who continue to break stereotypes and inspire millions. As a proud partner of the ICC, Hyundai remains committed to supporting this new era of cricket and standing alongside the champions who embody the true spirit of ‘Deewangi’.”

Vega Auto Accessories, a leading helmet manufacturer, has announced a strategic investment in Tageze Medical ID System, a Pune-based emergency technology platform operated by Techsocio Projects.

The transaction marks a direct entry for the traditional protective gear manufacturer into the connected safety and digital emergency response sectors, moving the brand's product ecosystem from pure accident prevention into active medical response coordination.

Tageze develops a decentralised, application-free medical identification platform. Utilising ruggedised, weather-proof QR-code tags integrated directly onto the helmet shell, the technology creates an immediate digital profile for first responders.

During a critical road incident (golden hour), bystanders, emergency responders, or healthcare professionals can simply scan the helmet-mounted QR code with any standard smartphone camera. The system instantly loads a secure, cloud-hosted medical profile outlining: primary and secondary emergency contact routing; blood group categorisation, known allergies, chronic medical conditions and current medications; health and vehicular insurance policy details to expedite hospital admission procedures.

Because app installation requirements often introduce friction during high-stress rescue operations, the platform operates entirely via a responsive mobile web interface. It supports multilingual localisation, dynamically translating medical profiles based on the browser settings of the first responder – a critical feature for long-distance touring riders navigating diverse linguistic states and countries.

The capital injection from Vega will be utilised to expand Tageze's technical infrastructure and scale its market footprint across India and its existing international distribution nodes.

For Vega, the alignment signals a broader shift occurring across the personal protective equipment (PPE) sector. As global motorcycling demographics demand higher technology integration, manufacturers are shifting beyond standard impact testing (such as ECE 22.06 or DOT standards) to capture the digital layer of post-crash telemetry and identity verification. The companies confirmed that the investment will fund a dedicated R&D pipeline aimed at embedding next-generation, hardware-level emergency tracking chips and intelligent response systems directly into future Vega and AXOR helmet lineups.

"At Vega, rider safety has always been at the core of everything we do. Through our partnership with Tageze, we are looking at safety beyond the helmet itself by enabling faster access to critical information during emergencies. We believe this is an important step towards building a more connected and responsive rider safety ecosystem," Vega said in a statement.

Deepak Gaikwad, Founder & CEO, Tageze Medical ID System, added, "Our mission has always been to make life-saving information accessible when it matters most. Partnering with Vega allows us to expand the reach of this technology and bring emergency preparedness closer to riders across India and global markets."

Ireland-headquartered intelligent power management company Eaton has entered into a definitive agreement to separate its Mobility Group business and combine it with Dana Incorporated in a Reverse Morris Trust transaction.

The deal values the combined company at over USD 10 billion in enterprise value and values Eaton’s Mobility Group at approximately USD 5.1 billion. The transaction is scheduled to close in Q1 of CY2027, subject to approval by Dana shareholders and regulatory clearances.

Under the terms of the agreement, Eaton will receive a tax-free cash distribution of approximately USD 1.1 billion, which will be funded by newly issued debt from the mobility entity. Eaton shareholders will receive shares in the combined business, resulting in a post-transaction ownership structure where Eaton shareholders hold at least 50.1 percent of the outstanding shares and Dana shareholders own approximately 49.9 percent.

The transaction allows Eaton to alter its corporate focus toward its electrical and aerospace divisions, which align with market trends in electrification, data centres, infrastructure modernisation and aerospace defence.

The combined entity will merge Dana’s portfolio of axles, driveshafts, thermal management and sealing products with Eaton’s commercial vehicle transmissions, clutches and engine emissions technologies. The merged entity will target internal combustion, hybrid and electric vehicle platforms across commercial and light vehicle manufacturing sectors.

The combined entity will retain the name Dana Incorporated and continue its public listing on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol DAN. The business is projected to generate approximately USD 11 billion in pro forma revenue and USD 1.7 billion in pro forma estimated 2026 adjusted EBITDA. The integration plan targets USD 250 million in annual run-rate cost synergies to be fully achieved within 24 months of closing.

Furthermore, Byron Foster will become the Chief Executive Officer of the combined company and Timothy Kraus will assume the role of Chief Financial Officer. R. Bruce McDonald will serve as Executive Chairman, while Erin Rowse is named as the incoming Chief Human Resources Officer. Dana’s board of directors will expand from eight members to include three additional directors appointed by Eaton.

Paulo Ruiz, Chief Executive Officer, Eaton, said, "We are pleased to have reached this agreement, which delivers significant value to Eaton and its shareholders and represents a major milestone in Eaton’s 2030 growth strategy to lead, invest and execute for growth. Eaton shareholders will benefit from the meaningful upside created by the combined company, and the transaction will provide substantial cash value for Eaton to deploy to our highest-growth and highest-margin opportunities. Looking ahead, our portfolio will be closely aligned with the powerful megatrends driving generational growth in our Electrical and Aerospace businesses, and we look forward to continuing our momentum to drive meaningful value for our customers and shareholders."

R. Bruce McDonald, Dana Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, "We are excited to bring together Eaton’s Mobility Group with Dana. The addition of Mobility Group’s leading positions in commercial vehicle transmissions, clutches and power management technologies, combined with Dana’s strengths in axles, driveshafts, electrification, thermal management and sealing products, will create a truly differentiated global platform. Together, we will be better positioned to serve our customers, invest in innovation and drive long-term value creation for shareholders of the combined company.”
