MUMBAI (Reuters) - Tata Motors shares fell over 5.5 percent on Wednesday after the company's net profit more than halved in the Jan-March quarter.

India's biggest automaker by revenue reported a surprise 56 percent drop in its March quarter net profit on Tuesday, hit by cooling demand for its sleek Jaguar saloons and sporty Range Rovers in the key Chinese market.
