markets COST Target Analysis Tesla Trade Experts Rs 2 lakh crore vanished! Tata Motors becomes Nifty's worst nightmare

Tata Motors has emerged as the worst-performing Nifty 50 stock, with its shares plummeting 44% from their peak of Rs 1,179 in July 2024 to Rs 661.75 currently, erasing Rs 1.9 lakh crore in market capitalization. The sharp decline stems from weak demand for Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) in key markets like China and the UK, coupled with concerns over potential US import tariffs on European-made cars. Domestically, softening sales in the medium & heavy commercial vehicle (M&HCV) segment and intensifying competition in passenger and electric vehicles (EVs) have further dented investor sentiment. As the stock struggles to find a bottom, the key question remains: Is the worst over, or is there more downside ahead?
