Motilal Oswal also expects JLR’s volume to decline by 11.6% year-on-year due to slow demand and deferment of purchases in China.

Kotak Institutional Equities: Kotak expects Tata Motors’ consolidated revenue to fall 11.3% y-o-y to Rs 80,936.5 crore due to decline in volume and marginal decline in average selling price. The brokerage expects the auto maker to report a consolidated profit of Rs 359.1 crore, down 83.1% from the year-ago quarter.
