Looking forward to growing demand and upcoming festive season, leading carmaker Tata Motors aims to cross 5 lakh units production mark by October this year at the Sanand plant in Gujarat. The company has achieved 100% utilisation of the plant and running three shift to meet the demand. “The plant has so far rolled out over 4,50,000 units since inception and is among fastest expanding plants of Tata Motors.

Tata Motors said on Friday it aims to deliver profits both at British marquee arm Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) as well as the domestic business. However, it remained silent on the future of the small car Nano that has been facing headwinds for long.

The statement comes within days of the company reporting a Rs 18.64 billion net loss in the June quarter.

Tata Motors posted the worst bottom line performance in a decade during the April-June quarter. The company posted a loss of Rs 18.63 billion as sales at Jaguar Land Rover, its UK-based subsidiary sputtered, following a one-time regulatory issue in China, uncertainty around Brexit and poor demand for diesel vehicles in the UK and Europe.

New Delhi: Tata Motors Ltd, India’s largest automaker by sales revenue, will report its June quarter (Q1 FY19) results on Tuesday. The sustained turnaround in the domestic business, helped by a low base, is unlikely to offset a muted performance by the UK subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) Automotive Plc, as the Tata Group flagship is expected to report a net profit of Rs 909.1 crore on net sales of Rs 70,900.8 crore, according to a Bloomberg poll of 10 analysts.

Tata Motors will soon shift gears to “Do it Yourself” (DIY) mode as a business strategy with the launch of Harrier, a five-seater sports utility vehicle.

As part of the plan, a digital configurator comprising a three-dimensional graphics-based front-end application (app) will allow customers to choose the power train, brakes, suspension types

Remuneration of top executives and independent directors at Tata Motors, including that of its managing director and chief executive Guenter Butschek, saw a drop in fiscal 2018 over the last year amid company's efforts to contain costs and turnaround the domestic operations, according to company's latest annual report.

Tata Motors lost a sizeable order from cab aggregator firms Ola and Uber as the group’s former Chairman, Cyrus Mistry, and group patriarch Ratan Tata fought a bitter battle. It was India’s largest carmaker Maruti, which finally bagged the order.

According to the National Company Law Tribunal’s (NCLT’s) Mumbai Bench observation dated July 9, Tata asked Mistry to consider a proposal by Ola, which wanted to buy 150,000 cars.

Tata Motors’ Sanand facility, which was set up to produce the Nano, is on the verge of discontinuing mass production of the small car. The company will now produce Nano cars on request only. “We will execute production order only when we receive a request from the company’s dealership. Either we will give it from our stock or we will have it produced and supplied,” said SN Barman, vice-president (sales, marketing and customer care), passenger vehicle unit, Tata Motors.

Tata Motors Ltd’s standalone business has been forging ahead with strong double-digit sales growth in commercial vehicles (CVs) and passenger vehicles (PVs). However, it looks like the automobile juggernaut is beginning to pay a price for sustaining this growth.

The company’s rising trade receivables indicate it is deploying more credit to push sales. During fiscal year 2018 (FY18), the standalone entity’s trade receivables, which is the amount customers (dealers) owe the firm, rose sharply by 64%, twice the rise in sales.

Tata Motors will invest $1 bln -- its biggest ever investment in the passenger vehicle business --- in the next three years as above average growth spurs demand for newer cars. Mumbai-based Tata will spend $1 bln after the board approved its mid-term business plan recently which includes investments, people in the know said.
