The BSE benchmark Sensex seems to be under-reporting the extent of pain gripping the broader market. Nearly a third of the BSE 500 companies (176 stocks) have lost all the gains they made since the Narendra Modi-led government took charge at the Centre on May 26 last year. And, more than 10 per cent (40 of 498 companies) have lost at least half their market value during the past 15 months.

The biggest losers have been infrastructure companies, metal makers, power generators, sugar companies, real estate developers and oil & gas companies, among others. The losses came at a time when, incidentally, infra and capital expenditure-related companies were supposed to be the biggest beneficiaries of the Modi government's infra spending push.

Mumbai: Tata Motors Ltd. plans to introduce three new car models this financial year in India as it seeks to refresh an aging lineup and regain market share, according to people familiar with the matter.

The carmaker will unveil a sedan, a hatchback and a crossover during the year ending in March, three people with knowledge of the plans said, asking not to be named as the matter is private. It’s also considering the introduction of a compact sport-utility vehicle later, the people said.

It is a make-or-break year for Tata Motors' passenger car business. The company is undergoing a makeover after having steadily lost market share to rivals over the years.

Tata Motors is now the country’s fifth-largest car maker, from the third largest a decade ago. The diminishing number of new Tata-badged cars on the roads has begun to shake the confidence of even diehard fans.
