Force Motors Limited, India’s largest van manufacturer and a leading automotive OEM, reported total domestic wholesales of 36,536 units in FY 2025–26, marking a 20% growth over 30,531 units recorded in FY 2024–25. The company witnessed growth across its portfolio, driven by strong demand in both urban and rural passenger mobility segments, along with sustained momentum in institutional and defence businesses.
The company’s flagship model, the Force Traveller, continues to maintain its leadership in the light commercial vehicle segment, commanding over 70% market share. This sustained dominance reflects strong customer confidence and widespread adoption across key applications such as school transportation and ambulance services.
A key highlight of the year was the robust performance of the Urbania range, which recorded over 100% growth in volumes. This has further strengthened its positioning in the premium passenger mobility space. The model continues to gain traction among fleet operators, staff transportation providers, and institutional buyers, while also emerging as a preferred choice among end users. Its differentiated value proposition in terms of comfort, safety, and total cost of ownership has been a key enabler of this growth.
The Trax platform also delivered a standout performance, registering over 70% growth in volumes during the year. This growth underscores its increasing acceptance across Tier-2 and Tier-3 markets, supported by improved affordability and accessibility. GST rationalisation has further aided deeper market penetration, particularly in segments where demand for rugged and reliable transport solutions remains strong.
The Special Vehicle Division played a crucial role in reinforcing the company’s capabilities, highlighted by the supply of the first batch of 600 Gurkha units to the Indian Army during the year. This milestone reaffirms Force Motors’ long-standing association with the defence sector and its ability to deliver purpose-built vehicles for demanding terrains and applications.
Commenting on the performance, Mr. Prasan Firodia, Managing Director – Force Motors Limited, said that the company’s results reflect a more focused and disciplined approach, aligned with segments where it holds strong leadership potential. He noted that the Urbania is setting new benchmarks in premium shared mobility, while the Trax platform is enhancing connectivity across the country. He further emphasised that the Traveller range continues to anchor the company’s presence in the segment, with its leadership reflecting deep-rooted customer trust.
He also highlighted the company’s continued engagement with the defence sector as a testament to its engineering strength and execution capabilities in demanding conditions. Additionally, Force Motors recorded steady growth in its export business, with 4-wheeler exports increasing by 13%. Given its strong presence in Gulf markets, the company remains watchful of evolving geopolitical developments.
Looking ahead, he stated that staying closely aligned with customer needs and continuously refining products and solutions accordingly will remain a key strategic priority. The company aims to build on its strengths with consistency while remaining agile in responding to evolving market dynamics.
