Tata Motors said that higher volumes in both standalone as well as Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business was more than offset by the adverse foreign currency impact of Rs 2296 crore and adverse commodity derivatives impact of Rs 167 crore in the operating profit mainly in the Jaguar Land Rover business. The profitability was also adversely impacted by lower local market incentive in the JLR business as compared to the corresponding quarter last year and higher depreciation and amortization expenses as compared to the corresponding quarter last year.

Tata Motors attributed the increase in top line during the quarter to strong sales from Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business and continued volume growth in M&HCV segment and the LCV segment.
