Tata Motors PV Group Reports Strong Domestic Growth in Q2 FY26 Despite JLR Cyber Hit
Mumbai, November 14, 2025: Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. (TMPVL) announced its financial results for Q2 FY26, reflecting a contrasting performance between its global and domestic operations. While the consolidated business faced headwinds—primarily due to a significant cyber incident at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR)—the India Passenger Vehicles (PV) business delivered strong growth driven by festive demand, GST 2.0 benefits, and a robust multi-powertrain portfolio.
Consolidated Performance Hit by JLR Disruption
TMPVL reported consolidated revenue of ₹72,349 crore, a decline of 13.5% year-on-year. EBIT came in at -6.8%, impacted sharply by the JLR cyber incident.
- PBT (before exceptional items): ₹-5,462 crore
- H1 FY26 PBT (bei): ₹-1,512 crore, down ₹13,858 crore YoY
Despite these challenges, the company posted a net profit of ₹76.2K crore, aided by a notional profit of ₹82.6K crore from the disposal of discontinued operations.
JLR Results: Cyber Incident, US Tariffs Weigh Heavily
Jaguar Land Rover recorded Q2 FY26 revenue of £4.9 billion, down 24.3%, with EBIT margins falling to -8.6%. Operations halted in September due to a cyber incident but have since returned to normal levels.
Key highlights:

- H1 FY26 revenue: £11.5 billion (-16.3% YoY)
- Free cash outflow: £791 million in Q2

The India Passenger Vehicles business delivered a standout quarter:
- PV revenue: ₹13,529 crore (+15.6% YoY)
- EBITDA: 5.8%
- EBIT: 0.2%
Strong demand supported by GST 2.0, an expanded EV/CNG portfolio, and festive season momentum fuelled the performance. PV & EV volumes rose 10.8% YoY to 144.5K units.
