Tata Motors Ltd. reported better-than-expected first-quarter income as supply-chain constraints eased, helping to lift sales of luxury cars.

Net income was 32 billion rupees ($391 million) in the three months through June, compared with a loss of 50 billion rupees a year earlier, the Mumbai-based company said in a statement Tuesday. Analyst estimates on average were for net profit of 24.5 billion rupees.
