Tata Motors may fall after unit Jaguar Land Rover’s Feb sales disappoint

Tata Motors shares may fall on lower-than-expected sales at key unit Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in February.

JLR’s Feb 15 wholesales came in at 38,541 units, down 1.2 pct yoy; below estimates of about 42,200 units – Analysts.

This could be due to lower despatches to China for the Evoque to clear inventory to start local production and gradual ramp-up for new models – Nomura.

Underlying demand for the JLR’s products remains strong – Analysts.
