Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Q1 FY27 Profit Drops to Rs 859 Crore

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles has reported a sharp decline in consolidated profit after tax for the first quarter ended June 30, 2026, falling to Rs 859 crore from Rs 2,597 crore recorded in the corresponding period of the previous fiscal year.

The decline in earnings was primarily driven by lower wholesale volumes at Jaguar Land Rover, elevated variable marketing expenses, higher input commodity costs, and adverse foreign exchange movements. Consolidated profit before tax before exceptional items stood at Rs 1,606 crore, while operating margins faced pressure as the consolidated EBITDA margin contracted to 7.4 percent.

Despite the lower net profit, consolidated revenue from operations grew 9.3 percent year-on-year to reach Rs 95,799 crore. Top-line growth was supported by the company's domestic passenger vehicle business, which recorded revenue of Rs 17,930 crore, representing a 64.8 percent increase compared to the same period in the previous fiscal year. Domestic passenger vehicle volumes grew 46 percent year-on-year, driven by electric vehicle sales, which rose 112 percent to exceed 34,000 units during the quarter. Electric vehicle penetration in the domestic portfolio reached 19 percent, while CNG models accounted for 27 percent.

At Jaguar Land Rover, revenue for the quarter reached £6.0 billion, down 9.6 percent year-on-year, as wholesale volumes declined 9.2 percent due to temporary component supply constraints, Middle East market disruptions, and the planned wind-down of outgoing Jaguar models. JLR posted a profit before tax before exceptional items of £109 million and an EBIT margin of 2.8 percent. Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Defender models accounted for 80.8 percent of JLR's total quarterly volume mix.

"Q1 FY27 marked a strong start to the year for Tata Motors PV, with industry-beating 46% YoY volume growth driven by robust customer demand and the success of our recent launches," said Shailesh Chandra, Managing Director and CEO of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited.
