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.
