₹1.5 Lakh Crore Wiped Out! Tata Stocks Take a Big Hit in Market Crash

The Indian stock market witnessed a Black Monday today, and even the most trusted names couldn’t escape the storm. In a shocking single-day crash, Tata Group companies lost nearly ₹1.5 lakh crore in market capitalization, proving once again that in volatile times, no stock is truly safe.

What Triggered the Crash?

The primary reason? Global tensions.

U.S. President Donald Trump reignited fears of a global recession by announcing reciprocal tariffs, sending shockwaves across global markets. The Sensex plunged over 4,000 points, dragging major Tata stocks deep into the red.

Tata Motors: The Hardest Hit

Tata Motors led the decline, falling nearly 10% in a single session. The company has halted Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) shipments to the U.S., one of its most important markets, contributing over 25% of its global sales last year.

As a result, Tata Motors saw its market value shrink by ₹19,000 crore within hours. Since Trump’s tariff announcement on March 26, the stock has tumbled 22%.

JLR's Future Looks Uncertain

According to a recent note by CLSA, JLR could see a 14% decline in overall volumes in FY26, including a sharp 26% fall in U.S. sales due to the tariffs. That’s a significant blow for a brand that relies heavily on American demand for its premium SUV lineup.

Other Tata Giants Also Tumbled

It wasn’t just Tata Motors. Other major Tata companies also faced the heat:

• Tata Steel dropped nearly 12%, amid worries over metal demand and global pricing.

• TCS, India's top IT services company, lost a staggering ₹47,500 crore in market capitalization.

• Titan, the consumer goods major, saw losses of over ₹6,392 crore.

• Other Tata names — Trent, Tata Power, Indian Hotels, and Tata Consumer — recorded losses between ₹1,500 crore and ₹32,000 crore.

What Are Analysts Saying?

Experts believe the current market situation is one of the most uncertain phases in recent memory.

“Would I take a bet right now? No. The uncertainty is very high,”
— Manish Jain, Chief Strategy Officer, Mirae Asset Capital Markets

“Avoid panic selling, continue SIPs, and focus on quality stocks,”
— Pranay Aggarwal, CEO, Stoxkart

Most analysts are urging investors to stay calm. While Systematic Investment Plans (SIPs) should continue, they’re advising against any lump-sum buying until the volatility eases.

Final Thoughts

Today’s market crash is a wake-up call for all investors. Even iconic names like Tata Group aren’t immune to global economic shocks.

The lesson? Diversify wisely, avoid knee-jerk reactions, and always invest with a long-term mindset.

Markets may be turbulent today, but with patience and discipline, better days are ahead.
