India's largest truck maker, Tata Engineering & Locomotive Co Ltd, said on Wednesday its total vehicle sales in April jumped 55 per cent from a year ago to 14,979 units, despite a truckers strike.

Telco, owned by the powerful Tata group, said in a statement domestic sales of commercial vehicles, or trucks and buses combined, rose 9.3 per cent to 7,048 units.

Mumbai-headquartered Telco makes heavy and light trucks and buses, cars and utility vehicles.
