Tata Motors, India's largest vehicle maker, expects sales of commercial vehicles to remain strong this year, a senior company official said on Wednesday. "At least over the next 12 months, I can see it continues to be strong," Ravi Pisharody, President of commercial vehicles business unit told reporters at the auto show in the Indian capital.

The company raised prices of some trucks and bus models by about 1% this month, and it would have to raise prices further if cost of commodities rise significantly, he said.
