TATA Punch best-selling car
The Tata Punch was not only the best-selling car in the Tata portfolio last month, but it was the best-selling car in India, surpassing the Hyundai Creta and Maruti WagonR by significant numbers. Apart from the Punch, Tata also had the Tiago and the Altroz in the top 25 list of cars sold in September 2024.
The Punch has seen a 61 percent year-on-year growth in sales but a 5 percent month-on-month decline with 17,547 units sold. 10,894 units were sold in September 2023 and 18,438 units in September 2024. In September 2024, Tata Motors added new variants to the Punch while some were discontinued.
