✦ AI-Generated from Full Transcript
Tata Motors' Q3 FY26 consolidated revenue fell 26% YoY to INR 70,000 crore, driven by a cyber incident at JLR that cost ~50,000 units of production. JLR EBIT margin was -6.8%, with VME rising to 7.7% and warranty one-offs of ~GBP 100 million. The India PV business posted record wholesales of 171,000 units, with revenue up 24% YoY, but PBT was flat at INR 300 crore due to higher D&A and marketing costs. Management guided for JLR to normalize production in Q4, with FY26 EBIT >0% and FCF of GBP -2.2 to -2.5 billion. India PV expects industry-leading growth of ~40% in Q4. Key risks include sustained tariff pressures, structural China luxury market decline, and commodity headwinds. The Sierra launch with 70,000 bookings is a positive, but supply ramp-up remains constrained.
टाटा मोटर्स की तीसरी तिमाही में कुल कमाई 26% घटकर 70,000 करोड़ रुपये रह गई। इसकी वजह जेएलआर (JLR) पर साइबर हमला था, जिससे करीब 50,000 गाड़ियों का उत्पादन प्रभावित हुआ। जेएलआर का मुनाफा मार्जिन -6.8% रहा, और वारंटी खर्च में 100 मिलियन पाउंड का एकमुश्त नुकसान हुआ। भारत में कार बिक्री रिकॉर्ड 1.71 लाख यूनिट रही, कमाई 24% बढ़ी, लेकिन मुनाफा सिर्फ 300 करोड़ रुपये रहा क्योंकि विज्ञापन और मशीनरी खर्च बढ़ गया। कंपनी का कहना है कि जेएलआर चौथी तिमाही में सामान्य हो जाएगा। भारत में कार बिक्री 40% बढ़ने की उम्मीद है। सिएरा कार को 70,000 बुकिंग मिली है, लेकिन सप्लाई बढ़ाने में दिक्कत है।
