PHOTO: REUTERS[NEW DELHI] Tata Motors reported an 8.3 per cent increase in quarterly profit on Wednesday (Aug 12), aided by demand from infrastructure, logistics and freight customers, which helped counter an uptick in commodity costs. The automaker reported a profit of 15.28 billion rupees (US$160.3 million) for the April to June quarter, compared with 14.11 billion rupees a year earlier. Commercial vehicle demand during the quarter remained resilient, aided by higher freight availability, infrastructure projects, and growth in e-commerce led logistics. This rise in demand eased cost pressures stemming from rising raw material prices triggered by the Middle East conflict. Tata Motors reported an 23.3 per cent rise in total revenue from operations to 193.3 billion rupees in the three months ended June 30.
