Financial Performance
Revenue Growth by Segment
Domestic Passenger Vehicle (PV) revenue grew 15% YoY in Q2 FY26. Conversely, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) revenue declined 24% YoY in Q2 FY26 due to a cyber incident that disrupted production and wholesales. Proforma consolidated revenue for FY25 (PV + JLR) stood at INR 362,665 Cr.
Geographic Revenue Split
The business is split between Domestic India (PV and EV) and Global markets (JLR). JLR wholesales reached 66,000 units in Q2 FY26, a 24% YoY reduction. Domestic PV market share was ~12.5% in H1 FY26.
Profitability Margins
Consolidated PAT margin was 5.4% in FY25, down from 7.47% in FY24. Domestic PV operating margins declined by 100 bps to 5.0% in H1 FY26 due to adverse realizations. JLR reported a negative EBIT margin of 8.6% in Q2 FY26 due to high operating leverage and production losses.
EBITDA Margin
Domestic PV standalone OPBDIT/OI was 6.0% for FY25, down from 7.0% in FY24. JLR's full-year FY26 EBIT margin is guided to be between 0% and 2% positive, reflecting a recovery from the Q2 cyber disruption.
Capital Expenditure
Domestic PV investment spend was INR 1,300 Cr in Q2 FY26. JLR's total investment spending in Q2 FY26 was £828 million (approx. INR 8,800 Cr), with £629 million dedicated to engineering costs to support the transition to electric platforms.
Credit Rating & Borrowing

Strategic Growth
Expected Growth Rate
15%
Growth Strategy
Growth will be driven by the 'mainstreaming' of EVs, with new launches like Harrier.ev and Sierra.ev. JLR is modernizing the Jaguar brand to be all-electric by 2026 and focusing on high-margin Land Rover special editions.
Products & Services
Passenger vehicles, SUVs, and luxury cars including internal combustion engine (ICE), CNG, and Electric Vehicles (EV).
Brand Portfolio
Tata Motors, Jaguar, Land Rover, Range Rover, Defender, Discovery, Nexon.ev, Harrier.ev, Curvv, Sierra.ev.
New Products/Services
Launch of Nexon.ev, Harrier.ev, and Curvv. Harrier.ev drove quarterly EV offtakes to 24,000 units. Sierra.ev is expected to further contribute to the 17% EV penetration rate.
Market Expansion
Focus on strengthening the domestic network and expanding the EV portfolio to maintain a leadership position in the Indian EV segment (currently ~42% market share).
Market Share & Ranking
Domestic PV market share is ~12.5% (Ranked among top players). EV market share is ~42% as of Q2 FY26.
Strategic Alliances
Joint Venture with Chery (CJLR) in China and Joint Operation with FIAPL in India for manufacturing.
External Factors
Industry Trends
The industry is shifting toward electrification. TMPV's EV penetration rose from 12% to 17% YoY. Jaguar will be 100% electric by 2026.
Competitive Landscape
Intense competition in the global luxury segment (JLR) and rising competition in the domestic EV space from new entrants.
Competitive Moat
Moat is built on JLR's strong legacy in the global luxury market and TMPV's early-mover advantage in the Indian EV space. Sustainability is supported by the Tata Group's financial flexibility.
Macro Economic Sensitivity
The domestic PV business is subject to inherent cyclicality. JLR is sensitive to global economic conditions affecting luxury demand.
Consumer Behavior
Shift toward SUVs and EVs; CNG and EV now account for 45% of the domestic portfolio mix.
Geopolitical Risks
Potential impacts from trade tariffs and changes in government regulations regarding EV subsidies (PLI scheme).
Regulatory & Governance
Industry Regulations
PLI (Production Linked Incentive) scheme eligibility: 30% of Q2 EV volumes qualified; Nexon.ev qualification in Q3 will increase this to ~55%.
Environmental Compliance
Targeting Net Zero GHG emissions by 2040 for PV business. Portfolio mix keeps CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) scores well below regulatory thresholds.
Taxation Policy Impact
JLR reported a cash tax of £93 million in Q2 FY26. Domestic PV cash tax was INR 28 Cr in Q2 FY26.
Risk Analysis
Key Uncertainties
Cyber security risks (high impact), volatility in EV demand, and capital-intensive nature of the luxury auto business.
Geographic Concentration Risk
JLR has significant exposure to the UK, Europe, and China. Domestic PV is concentrated in the Indian market.
Third Party Dependencies
Dependency on third-party agencies for business valuation (INR 94,000 Cr for CV demerger) and joint venture partners like Chery.
Technology Obsolescence Risk
Risk of falling behind in the rapid transition to EVs, mitigated by the 'Jaguar all-electric by 2026' strategy.
Credit & Counterparty Risk
Strong financial flexibility due to Tata Group support; JLR maintains a net cash position.
