Tata Motors Q2FY26 was severely impacted by a JLR cyber incident that shut down systems for most of September, causing a 24% revenue drop and a PBT loss of INR 5,500 crore. JLR wholesales fell to 66,000 units, with an EBIT of -8.6% and free cash flow of -GBP 791 million. The India PV business was a bright spot, with 15% revenue growth, record monthly wholesales of 61,000 units in October, and EV penetration rising to 17%. Management guided JLR FY26 EBIT of 0%-2% and FCF of -INR 2.2-2.5 billion, with recovery expected only in Q4. Risks include sustained high VME, structural tariff costs, and potential Nexperia chip supply disruption.
टाटा मोटर्स की दूसरी तिमाही में JLR (जगुआर लैंड रोवर) पर साइबर हमला हुआ, जिससे सितंबर में सिस्टम बंद रहे। इससे कमाई 24% गिर गई और कंपनी को 5,500 करोड़ रुपये का घाटा हुआ। JLR की बिक्री 66,000 गाड़ियों पर आ गई और उसे भी भारी नुकसान हुआ। भारत में कार बिक्री अच्छी रही - कमाई 15% बढ़ी, अक्टूबर में 61,000 गाड़ियां बिकीं और इलेक्ट्रिक गाड़ियों की हिस्सेदारी 17% पहुंच गई। कंपनी को उम्मीद है कि JLR में सुधार साल की आखिरी तिमाही में होगा। लेकिन कच्चे माल के ऊंचे दाम, टैरिफ और चिप की कमी जैसे जोखिम बने हुए हैं।

DROPPED
PV EBITDA margin to improve by 3%-4% in next few quarters
Dhiman Gupta guided that PV ICE margins will improve by 3%-4% over the next few quarters, driven by cost reductions, better model mix, and potential price increases in H2.

Management aims to sustain double-digit EBITDA margins and ROCE of 39.6% in the CV segment, despite volume headwinds.
DROPPED
EV market share target of 50%+ in coming quarters

NEW RISK
Sustained high VME and structural tariff costs
JLR's VME rose to 6.9% of revenue and U.S. tariffs remain elevated; management expects these pressures to persist.
NEW RISK
Nexperia chip supply disruption
Potential shortage from Nexperia's wafer supply chain could impact production; management is monitoring closely.
NEW RISK
JLR demand deterioration in China
China luxury segment continues to shrink, and the new luxury tax has worsened demand; management acknowledged this as a structural issue.
NEW RISK
India PV ICE margin recovery delayed
ICE margins fell to 6.4% due to commodity costs and adverse pricing; recovery expected only in Q4, with risks from discounting.
RISK GONE
US tariff impact uncertainty
JLR faces a net tariff impact of $500-600 million for FY26, with potential for further changes in trade policy. The 10% UK quota may not cover all US imports in future years.
