Tata Motors Ltd on Wednesday reported a loss for the three months ended September, dented by weak Jaguar Land Rover sales and a one-off charge in respect to a subsidiary closure.

The automaker made a loss of 10.49 billion rupees ($141.92 million), compared with a profit of 24.83 billion rupees in the year-ago period, the company said.

That was above the street estimate of a loss of Rs 2.40 billion, according to Refinitiv data.

Total expenses during July-September rose 8.6 percent, while revenue climbed to 712.93 billion rupees from 695.70 billion rupees a year earlier.
