Tata Motors (NSE: TATAMOTORS) slipped to a fresh 52-week low of ₹669 today, extending its recent downward trend. The stock is now down over 10% this year, driven by weak earnings and increased competition in the electric vehicle (EV) space. Investors are cautiously watching for signs of recovery as the company implements long-term strategies to regain momentum.
The third-quarter results offered a mixed picture. Revenue growth remained steady, but net profit took a hit, falling 22% year-on-year to ₹5,451 crore. The decline was largely due to supply chain disruptions and rising costs, putting short-term pressure on margins.
JLR Delivers, But EV Competition Heats Up
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Tata Motors’ luxury arm, stood out with record revenues in the last quarter, driven by strong demand in key markets. However, the broader business is facing increasing challenges as rivals ramp up their presence in the Indian EV market.
In response, Tata Motors is stepping up its game by localizing battery production. The company plans to establish a dedicated EV battery facility, with operations expected to begin by 2026. This move is expected to reduce costs and improve supply chain efficiency as the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise.
Tata Motors also made strides in sustainability with the launch of a vehicle scrapping facility in Guwahati, aligning with India’s green initiatives and supporting its long-term growth plans.
Tata Motors Chart Analysis – Key Levels to Watch
- Immediate Support: ₹669 is the key level for traders. If it fails, the next target could be ₹650.
- Resistance Levels: ₹700 is the first hurdle, followed by ₹722.85.
- MACD: The indicator remains in negative territory, signalling persistent bearish momentum.
- RSI: Close to oversold, hinting at a possible rebound if support holds.
What’s Next for Tata Motors?
The short-term outlook remains cautious, especially with the recent decline in profitability and ongoing external pressures. That said, Tata Motors’ focus on local EV battery production, JLR’s steady performance, and its commitment to sustainability could be strong drivers for long-term growth.
For now, the ₹669 support level is the key to watch. A recovery above ₹700 could signal renewed buying interest, while a break below ₹650 may attract more selling pressure in the near term.
