Tata Motors said its profit before tax (PBT) declined sharply to Rs 2771 crore in Q4 March 2015 from Rs 5053 crore in Q4 March 2014 due to higher depreciation and amortization and adverse mark to market of un-matured hedges not eligible for hedge accounting. The company attributed the small increase in revenue in Q4 March 2015 to increase in wholesale volumes and richer product mix both in the standalone business and Jaguar Land Rover (JLR).
