Force Motors delivered exceptional domestic performance in August, with domestic sales surging 62.14% year-on-year to 3,721 vehicles compared to 2,295 units in August 2025. According to reports from CNBC TV18, this strong domestic performance helped offset weaker export performance and contributed to overall sales growth of 58.22% to 3,802 units from 2,403 units in the previous year. The figures encompass small commercial vehicles, light commercial vehicles, utility vehicles and sports utility vehicles across the company's product portfolio.
While domestic sales drove strong performance, exports presented a contrasting picture. As reported by CNBC TV18, exports declined 25% to 81 vehicles in August from 108 units in the same period last year. However, exports represent a relatively small portion of the company's total volumes, limiting the impact on overall growth momentum. This export decline was more than offset by the robust domestic market performance, demonstrating the company's strong home market positioning.
Force Motors shares responded positively to the strong sales announcement, rising nearly 3% on Tuesday, September 1, with the stock climbing as much as 2.96% to ₹18,044 before closing at ₹17,750, up 1.28% from the previous close. According to CNBC TV18, despite the positive daily performance, the stock remains 13.69% lower year-to-date in 2026. The stock has shown mixed performance across different timeframes, gaining 1.83% over the past week but declining 0.85% over one month, 6.10% over three months, and 27.08% over six months.
Despite recent challenges, Force Motors has demonstrated strong long-term performance with gains of 113.10% over two years, 407.64% over three years, and more than 1,200% over five years. As reported by CNBC TV18, this long-term trajectory provides context for the current market performance and suggests underlying business strength despite recent volatility. The company's ability to maintain strong domestic growth while managing export challenges demonstrates its market positioning and operational resilience.
