Jaguar Land Rover See Sales Rise
02/12/2009
Jaguar Land Rover had seen its sales rise 23% in the second quarter after its new models were well-received.
The new products such as the upgraded Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Discovery 4 had had successful launches.
India's Tata Motors made a net profit of 217.8m rupees ($4.7m; £2.8m). That compared with a loss of 9.4bn rupees a year earlier.
Tata said Jaguar Land Rover's performance was the highlight of the quarter.
Tata bought the British marques from Ford for £1.7bn in June 2008. Sales volumes at Jaguar Land Rover rose to 44,300 vehicles from 35,900 in the previous quarter.
Aggressive cost reduction had also paid off, Tata said.
