Nov 13 (Reuters) - India's Tata Motors TATM.NS, the country's top commercial vehicles maker, reported a quarterly loss on Thursday, as it took a one-time impairment charge related to an investment in one of its units.
The maker of Ace mini-truck reported a loss of 1.02 billion rupees ($11.6 million) for the quarter ended September 30, compared with a profit of 6.43 billion rupees a year ago.
The company split from the passenger vehicles business in October, with both businesses now operating independently under the Tata Motors group.
