Reuters Market Eye - Shares in Tata Motors fall 1.6 percent after unit Jaguar Land Rover Ltd's (JLR) May sales came below analysts expectations, dealers said.
The company said in a statement on Sunday that global wholesales of its JLR unit, which Tata purchased for $2.3 billion in 2008, stood at 31,210 in the month, a rise of 3.7 percent from a year ago.
"Sales have been below expectation mainly due to lower Land Rover volumes. April-June is a slower period historically," said an analyst at a domestic brokerage house.
Tata's overall global wholesale vehicle sales fell an annual 17.5 percent in May.
At 12.40 p.m., Tata Motors shares were trading down at 291.90 rupees.
