Tata Motors Consolidated:
TML continued its strong performance in Q2 FY24 with revenues at ₹105.1K Cr (up 32.1%), EBITDA at ₹14.4K Cr (up 86.4%) and EBIT of ₹7.8KCr (+₹5.9KCr), as all auto verticals continued their profitable growth trajectory. PBT (bei) improved by ₹7.9KCr to ₹6.1KCr and Net Profit was ₹3.8KCr. In H1 FY24, the business reported strong PBT (bei) of ₹11.4KCr, an improvement of ₹18.2KCr over the previous year. Net Automotive debt reduced to ₹38.7KCr.
JLR revenues improved 30.4% to £6.9b. Strong wholesales and improved mix resulted in EBIT margins of 7.3% (+630bps). CV revenues improved by 22.3% and EBIT improved to 7.9% (+560bps) benefiting from higher realisations, richer mix and favourable commodity prices. PV revenues were marginally down 3.0% impacted by the transition to the new launches while EBIT margins improved by 140 bps to 1.8% due to savings in commodity costs.
Looking Ahead:
We remain optimistic on demand despite external challenges and anticipate a moderate inflationary environment. We aim to deliver a stronger performance in H2, due to a healthy order book at JLR, strong demand for heavy trucks in CV and exciting new generation products in PV. Our financial performance is expected to improve further owing to a richer mix, continued low-break-even in JLR, execution of demand-pull strategy in CV and improving profitability in PV/EV.
PB Balaji, Group Chief Financial Officer, Tata Motors said: “It is pleasing to see all the businesses deliver on their well differentiated plans this quarter. With a strong product pipeline, a seasonally stronger H2 and continued focus on cash accretive growth, we are confident of sustaining this momentum.”

Financials
JLR continued its strong performance of recent quarters with another set of positive results as supply constraints continue to ease, enabling more vehicles to be delivered to clients. Revenue in Q2 FY24 was £6.9 billion, up 30% vs. Q2 FY23 and flat compared to Q1 FY24, impacted by the planned summer shutdowns. EBIT margin was positive 7.3%, up from 1.0% a year ago, but slightly down from 8.6% in the first quarter. The higher profitability year-on-year reflects favourable volume, mix, pricing, and foreign exchange revaluation offset partially by higher fixed marketing and selling costs.
