Indian benchmark indices traded higher on Tuesday afternoon, supported by strong gains in information technology stocks, while investors continued to monitor geopolitical developments in West Asia.

Force Motors Reports Lower May Sales

Force Motors reported total vehicle sales of 2,614 units in May 2026, compared with 3,088 units in the corresponding month last year, registering a decline of 15.35 per cent year-on-year.

The reported figures include sales across Small Commercial Vehicles (SCV), Light Commercial Vehicles (LCV), Utility Vehicles (UV) and Sports Utility Vehicles (SUV).

Force Motors  Domestic Sales Decline 15 per cent

Domestic sales stood at 2,560 units during May 2026, compared with 3,002 units in May 2025, reflecting a decline of 14.72 per cent.

The decrease indicates lower dispatches across the company's key vehicle categories in the domestic market during the month.

Force Motors Exports Fall 37 per cent

Export performance remained under pressure during the month. Overseas shipments declined to 54 units in May 2026 from 86 units reported in the corresponding month of the previous year, registering a decline of 37.21 per cent.

The sharper fall in exports compared with domestic sales further weighed on the company's overall monthly volumes.

Force Motors Sales Trend Remains Under Watch

The May sales data reflects moderation in both domestic and international demand compared with the previous year. The company disclosed the monthly sales figures under Regulation 30 of the SEBI (Listing Obligations and Disclosure Requirements) Regulations, 2015.

Investors will continue to monitor upcoming monthly dispatch data and demand trends across the commercial vehicle and utility vehicle segments.
