(Reuters) -Indian carmaker Tata Motors' shares plummeted about 9% to a 14-month low on Thursday, after its third-quarter results set off growth and margin concerns for its luxury Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) segment.

Passenger and commercial vehicle major Tata Motors on Wednesday posted a 22.4 per cent year-on-year (Y-o-Y) decline in net profit to Rs 5,451 crore for the third quarter of FY25 on muted revenue growth of 2.

Tata Motors share price declined 8% in the morning trade on Thursday following the automaker’s Q3 results wherein it reported a double-digit fall in profit.

Indian carmaker Tata Motors fell more than 7% in early trade on Thursday after reporting a bigger-than-expected drop in quarterly profit, which pushed a slew of brokerages to slash price targets on the stock.

The homegrown auto player is set to announce its results for the period ended on December 31, 2024 later today.

Indian automaker Tata Motors reported a 22% drop in third-quarter profit on Wednesday, hurt by the bigger discounts it offered to boost sales across its domestic and luxury car businesses. The company's profit fell to Rs 5,451 cr ($630 million) in the quarter from Rs 7,025 crore a year before.

Tata Motors reported a 22.5% decline in consolidated net profit for Q3 FY25, totaling ₹5,578 crore. Despite strong performance in the JLR segment, overall margins decreased. Revenue from operations rose by 2.

Tata Motors shares plunged 9 per cent to a 52-week low as Q3 profit fell 22 per cent YoY, missing estimates. JLR performed well, but weak India CV growth dampened sentiment.

Shailesh Chandra says in Q3, wholesales were at 140,000 units, up 1.1% YoY and retail sales grew 6%, which allowed the company to cut channel inventory
