Punch recorded 20,333 units, growing 28.0% year-on-year. Its additional 4,442 units made it the largest absolute YoY growth contributor among models with a non-zero September 2025 base. However, volumes declined 4.6% sequentially.
Sierra secured third position with 7,205 units, up 28.2% from August’s 5,622 units. It contributed 10.5% of Tata’s September total.

Auto Punditz Take
Tata’s headline growth masks a mixed performance across its portfolio. Punch and Curvv improved strongly year-on-year, while several other models declined.
Sierra and Aeris together contributed 9,611 units, exceeding Tata’s overall YoY increase of 9,143 units. Excluding these two models from both periods, the remaining portfolio declined 0.8% year-on-year, from 59,667 to 59,199 units. Their contribution was therefore central to Tata’s overall growth, while Nexon and Punch continued to anchor its volumes.
