Tata Motors shares gained on Friday after the company's UK-based arm Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) reported a strong sales performance during the first quarter of 2014. It witnessed an 8% growth in sales to 124,776 vehicles.
"This reflects strong demand for the new and refreshed Jaguar and Land Rover line up which was enhanced during this period by Jaguar's 15MY introductions, the sales debut of the Jaguar F-TYPE coupé and a strong performance from Range Rover Sport," JLR said.
Jaguar Land Rover's regional performance for the quarter:- the China Region up 36%, North America up 13% and Asia Pacific up 13%. The UK and Europe are marginally down due to the market launch timing of special edition models in the corresponding quarter last year.
