Tata Motors stock hits lowest levels since December 2012
The shares of the company were last trading at Rs 276, down 3.13 per cent over Wednesday's close. The stock had hit a 52-week high of Rs 337 in January 2013 and has been sliding ever since.
According to reports China, a major market for Jaguar Land Rover models imposed stringent fuel economy norms, largely aimed to reduce passenger cars' average fuel consumption to 6.9 litres per 100 kilometers by 2015 and down further to 5.0 litres by 2020.
"Fuel efficiency guidelines that were issued by China yesterday might impact JLR negatively as China is 20 per cent of JLR revenues and 40 per cent of EBITDA," Morgan Stanley said in a note.
On the domestic front it has not been good going for Tata Motors, particularly in the passenger car segment, where outlook has been poor for the industry as a whole.
