Market Performance
Tata Motors' share price has experienced a significant decline, dropping over 13% in the past month and on a year-to-date basis, it dropped more than 15%. Over the past six months, the stock has fallen 41%, while the one-year decline stands at 34%. The stock is currently more than 46% below its peak, erasing approximately ₹2 lakh crore in market value.
Key Developments
On February 28, 2025, Tata Motors' stock fell over 2%, reaching a 52-week low of ₹630.15 per share on the BSE. This marks the ninth consecutive fall in the trading session, driven by weak demand expectations for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in major markets such as China and the UK. Additionally, the domestic passenger vehicle segment has shown signs of weakness.
Further concerns arise from the possibility of US import tariffs on European-made vehicles, which could negatively impact JLR's sales in the US. The US market contributes 25% of JLR's total retail volumes, significantly affecting the stock's performance.

The anticipated decline in wholesales reflects broader market trends and sectoral challenges faced by the company.
Summary
