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.

Tata Motors will have a wider presence in the pick-up segment in the next three years, as demand for the lighter, quicker and faster commercial vehicles gathers pace in India.

The Mumbai-based company, which has a market share of 12 per cent in the pick-up segment, is working on a variety of projects. At least three pick-ups will be launched by the company in the next two-three years, said a senior official of the company.

Shares of Tata Motors have fallen to 18-month lows of Rs 328 after declining nearly 6% in the past two trading sessions, bringing down its market capitalisation (market-cap) below Rs 1 lakh crore on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE).

At 12:24 AM, the stock was trading at Rs 331, its lowest level since February 2014 in intra-day trades.

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.
