According to CNBC-TV18 Poll, the company is expected to report losses, on a standalone basis, but much lower losses compared to the third quarter of FY22.  Standalone volumes are likely to be strong  driven by improvement in demand in both Passenger Vehicles and Commercial Vehicles segments.

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) volumes are also expected to be under pressure, down 37.6 percent YoY at 76,526 units. Chip shortage is seen hurting production.
