Meanwhile, the S&P BSE Sensex was down 71.43 points, or 0.21% to 34,370.62

On the BSE, 19.85 lakh shares were traded in the counter so far compared with average daily volumes of 15.99 lakh shares in the past two weeks.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) revenues for the quarter were 5.6 billion, 10.9% lower year-on-year primarily reflecting lower wholesales. The lower wholesales combined with higher depreciation and amortization led to a pre-tax loss for the quarter of 90 million. Earnings before interest, tax and depreciation (EBITDA) were 511 million (9.1% margin).

N Chandrasekaran, Chairman commented that Tata Motors has improved market shares whilst delivering robust improvement in profitability in both the commercial vehicles and passenger vehicles and generated positive free cash flows. In JLR, market conditions, particularly in China, have deteriorated further.

Tata Motors is a leading global automobile manufacturer of cars, utility vehicles, buses, trucks and defence vehicles.
