Tata Motors reported a disappointing Q2 FY25 with consolidated revenue down 3.5% YoY and JLR EBIT margin falling 190 bps to 5.6%, impacted by aluminum supply disruptions and a temporary quality hold on 6,000 vehicles. Domestic CV volumes declined 11% YoY due to slowdown in infrastructure and mining, while PV market share slipped to 13.3% amid industry-wide discounting. JLR reiterated its FY25 guidance of ≥8.5% EBIT and net cash positive, but headroom is tight. Management expects H2 recovery driven by volume normalization and working capital reversal. Key risks include further deterioration in China demand and sustained discounting in the domestic PV market.
टाटा मोटर्स की दूसरी तिमाही (Q2 FY25) के नतीजे निराशाजनक रहे। कंपनी की कुल आय पिछले साल की तुलना में 3.5% घट गई। जेएलआर (JLR) का मुनाफा (EBIT) 5.6% रहा, जो पिछली तिमाही से 1.9% कम है। इसकी वजह एल्युमीनियम की आपूर्ति में रुकावट और 6,000 गाड़ियों पर अस्थायी गुणवत्ता जांच थी। भारत में कमर्शियल वाहनों (CV) की बिक्री 11% गिरी, क्योंकि बुनियादी ढांचे और खनन में सुस्ती है। कारों (PV) का बाजार हिस्सा घटकर 13.3% रह गया। जेएलआर ने पूरे साल 8.5% मुनाफे का अनुमान दोहराया है, लेकिन इसे पूरा करना मुश्किल लगता है। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि दूसरी छमाही में बिक्री सुधरेगी। मुख्य जोखिम चीन में मांग गिरना और भारत में छूट का दबाव है।
