Shares of Tata Motors dropped by nearly 3 per cent to hit a one-year low on the bourses in morning trade on Wednesday after the company's global sales declined by 6 per cent in July vis-a-vis the same month last year.

The company's scrip fell by 2.71 per cent to hit a 52-week low of Rs 780 on the BSE. Similarly, on the NSE, the stock went down by 2.70 per cent to touch a one-year low of Rs 779.85.
