Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles reported an 80.3% fall in consolidated net profit to Rs 775 crore for the June quarter, even as revenue rose 9.3% to Rs 95,799 crore. The slide was driven by weakness at Jaguar Land Rover, whose profit after tax dropped 73% to £66 million, and by rising input costs that pushed variable marketing expenses to 7.1% of sales. The Times of India reports that higher incentives and commodity inflation, equivalent to 4.5% of domestic revenue, weighed heavily. EV volumes, however, grew 112% year-on-year, according to NDTV Profit. Tata Motors has raised prices by up to 1.5% but plans gradual hikes.
