(Reuters) - India's Tata Motors Ltd reported on Tuesday a loss for the three months through June, hurt by higher raw material costs.

It said it made a net loss of 19.02 billion rupees ($277 million), compared with a profit of 31.82 billion rupees in the same quarter a year ago.

Changes to the way JLR's pension payments are calculated had resulted in a one-time gain of 36.09 billion rupees last year.

Total expenses during April-June rose about 17 percent to 698.90 billion rupees.
