In their assessment, Nomura analysts said the Sierra's modern, feature-rich positioning and aggressive pricing strategy could meaningfully lift Tata Motors' volume trajectory in FY26-28.

The April-September period this fiscal witnessed a 1.6 per cent year-on-year decline, and it was only the festive period that passenger vehicle sales rebounded in the domestic market.
