The Tata Nexon compact SUV led the sales for the homegrown manufacturer as 13,767 units were registered against 10,096 units in October 2021.
The Tata Punch micro SUV finished in the second position with 10,982 unit sales last month as against 8,453 units during the corresponding period in 2021 with a YoY volume increase of 30 per cent. The Nexon and Punch combined to record well over 24,700 units last month and they have been the major contributor in recent memory.
