Shares of Tata Motors jumped at least 5% to Rs 330, extending their previous day’s 5% rally on the BSE, on reports that the company’s Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) units' sales in the United States surged 61% in September to 6,850 units.

“Demand for Range Rover and Evoque sport utility vehicles (SUVs) carried the Land Rover brand to its best September ever for US deliveries and a record for sales though the first nine months. Jaguar sales will get a boost from the introduction of the new XF sedan this year and upgrades of other models in 2016,” the Bloomberg report suggest quoting Joe Eberhardt, Jaguar Land Rover’s chief executive officer for North America.

In past two trading sessions, the stock has rallied 11% from Rs 297 on Thursday, October 1, compared to 2% rise in the Sensex.

However, thus far in 2015, Tata Motors has underperformed the market by falling 33% on uncertainty regarding the slowing of its automobile sales in China. The benchmark index declined 3% so far in the current calendar year.
