NEW DELHI: Shares of Tata Motors cracked over 4 per cent in Monday's trade amid weakening demand for subsidiary JLR
Investor sentiment dampened on fresh reports suggesting jobs and production cuts at two of JLR’s British factories.
Jaguar Land Rover will
cut around 1,000 jobs and production at two of its English factories due to fall in sales caused by uncertainty around Brexit and confusion

markets, Reuters quoted Macquarie as saying.
