Tata Motors Ltd. netted 39.5 billion rupees (€545 million) in the fiscal fourth quarter ended March 31 compared with 62.3 billion rupees (€861 million) a year earlier.
Revenue grew 10% to 560 billion rupees (€7.7 billion) in the January-March period. Sales of Tata brand vehicles plummeted 31% to 197,100 units. But demand for Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles climbed 19% to 116,200 units.
JLR's quarterly revenue jumped 22% to 5.1 billion (€5.9 billion), propelled by a 48% surge in China. But the unit's net earnings plunged 46% to 378 million (€442 million), largely because of a one-time tax gain of 225 million (€263 million) a year earlier.
The Tata brand's revenue dropped 32% to 111 billion rupees (€1.5 billion) in the quarter. The business swung to a 3.1 billion-rupee (€43 million) loss from a 5.7 billion-rupee (€78 million) profit a year earlier.
For the full fiscal year, the company's net income slid 27% to 98.9 billion rupees (€1.4 billion). Revenue rose 14% to 1.89 trillion rupees (€26.1 billion).
