** Shares trading flat early on Monday, down 0.09 at 633 rupees by 09:19 am IST

WEAKENED DEMAND IN PV AND JLR AMIDST TARIFF UNCERTAINTY DRAG SALES

**Macquarie ("outperform", PT: 633 rupees) says cost optimisation and pricing should support margins, but risks remain from potential demand slowdown and a 10% luxury tax in China (13% of volume), affecting the full JLR lineup.

** Jefferies ("underperform", PT:550 rupees) says multiple headwinds impact businesses. Luxury segment, JLR, faces increased competition and consumption tax in China. Adds unconvinced about $4.36 bln deal with Italy's Iveco IVG.MI

** JP Morgan ("neutral", PT: 740 rupees) says despite a big miss in private vehicles sales and JLR, the quarter was helped by the increased revenue from the domestic commercial vehicles sales. Adds, expect slight cuts to consensus numbers mainly due to PV business underperformance.
