The Mumbai-headquartered company's current market capitalisation tally's upto Rs 3.16 lakh crore, as per BSE. 

Presently, Tata Motors is gearing up to introduce four mass-market electric vehicle (EVs) by late next year. 

The Curvv EV is set to launch in the upcoming months, followed by the Harrier EV later in 2024. The Sierra EV and Altroz EV are slated for a release next year. 

On the EV lineup front, Shailesh Chandra, MD for Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said all awaiting passenger EVs launches will feature this advanced Acti.EV architecture, which is a part of Punch EV, citing media reports. 

Notably, the sales of small vehicles from Maruti Suzuki such as the Alto and Baleno, have declined by 29 per cent, according to the company. This fall is due to Maruti's decision to moderate wholesales, as per media reports. 

Meanwhile, Tata Motors posted a 8 per cent growth in domestic passenger vehicles (PV) sales, but the company has not disclosed growth rates in other vehicle segments.
