Tata Motors surges on renewed buying

Tata Motors jumped 7.81% to settle at Rs 118.05 on reports that Jaguar Land Rover plans to launch 30 new or revamped vehicles in China in the next two years.

Tata Motors' wholly-owned UK-based unit Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc (JLR) brings in most of Tata Motor's revenue.

Meanwhile, the British parliament voted on Wednesday to prevent Prime Minister Boris Johnson taking Britain out of the European Union without a deal on 31 October. Johnson has been pushing for a fast and potentially messy UK divorce from the European Union (EU) on 31 October, at the cost of economic disruption if necessary.

A no-deal Brexit poses significant risks to JLR's business profile. An adverse outcome on Brexit for JLR may result in significant disruptions to its supply chain, and elongate its working capital cycle.
