Why Tata, Leyland are sprinting
Mint Kolkata
|June 19, 2026
Shares of Tata Motors Ltd (Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles) and Ashok Leyland Ltd have risen 13.6% and 14.3%, respectively, over the past five trading days, comfortably outperforming the Nifty Auto’s 3.7% gain.
What’s driving the outperformance? The biggest trigger is the recent plunge in oil prices. Brent crude has fallen 15% over the past six trading days to around $80 per barrel.
While lower crude prices benefit the broader automobile sector, the impact is particularly significant for commercial vehicles (CVs), where dependence on diesel remains high.
Alternative fuels remain far less prevalent in CVs than in passenger vehicles (PVs) or two-wheelers. Electric vehicle penetration in the CV segment remains low. Even CNG adoption is significantly lower. In FY26, CNG-powered vehicles accounted for 21.98% of PV sales, compared with just 11.7% in CVs.
That makes diesel fuel cost (due to lower penetration of electric and CNG) a far more important variable for CV economics.
