Tata Motors, one of the leading passenger and commercial vehicles manufacturer, has announced its financial results for Q2 FY2025.

The company reported consolidated revenue of INR 1,015 billion, down 3.5 percent YoY; EBITDA at 1,160 billion, down 230 bps and net profit at INR 33.43 billion, down 11 percent YoY.

During the quarter, the passenger vehicle volumes were down 6.1 percent YoY at 130,500 units on the back of slow consumer demand and seasonal factors. The commercial vehicle sales came at 79,800 units, lower 19.6 percent YoY impacted by slowdown in infrastructure project execution, reduction in mining activity and an overall drop in fleet utilisation due to heavy rains.

On the other hand, Jaguar Land Rover delivered an eighth successive profitable quarter, despite temporary aluminium supply constraints.

Going forward, the company has maintained a cautious outlook for the near-term in domestic demand. However, the festive season and substantial investments in infrastructure should help bolster it. JLR wholesales are expected to improve sharply, as supply challenges ease. Overall, we expect an all-round improvement in performance in H2 FY25 and the business to become net debt free by this year.

PB Balaji, Group CFO, Tata Motors, said: “Growth in the quarter was impacted due to significant external challenges as highlighted earlier. Overall, the business fundamentals remain strong, and we remain focused on our agenda of driving growth, competitiveness and free cash flows. As the supply challenges ease and demand picks up, we are confident of steady improvement in our performance and delivering a strong H2.”

Shailesh Chandra, MD, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said: “The passenger vehicle industry in Q2 FY25 witnessed around 5 percent decline in registrations, resulting in continued build-up of channel inventory. Sales of EVs were additionally impacted by lapse of certain subsidies. We moderated our offtakes in Q2 to proactively keep our channel inventory under control. Q3 has started off with a resurgence in industry demand on the back of a robust festive season. Tata Motors recorded its highest ever monthly registrations of around 68.5k during October, which helped in bringing down the inventory to normal levels. Our multi-powertrain suite of Curvv, Nexon iCNG and Nexon.ev 45 has garnered strong consumer interest as we continue to ramp up deliveries in Q3.”

Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors, said, “Q2 FY25 moderated the positive momentum seen by the commercial vehicles industry at the start of the fiscal, due to slowdown in infrastructure project execution, reduction in mining activity and an overall drop in fleet utilization due to heavy rains. Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles domestic sales at 79.8K units were 19.6 percent lower than Q2 FY24 sales. Our demand-pull strategy and vigilance on costs had the business deliver EBITDA margins of 11.2 percent in H1 FY25. Going forward, with the rains easing, increased infrastructure spending, and the arrival of the festive season boosting consumption, we anticipate demand to pick up.”

Adrian Mardell, Chief Executive Officer, JLR, said: “JLR has delivered a resilient performance in Q2, resulting in a 25 percent increase in first half profits year-on-year. Our teams responded brilliantly to the aluminium supply shortages we experienced in the quarter, so we could deliver as many orders as possible to clients. We continue to make good progress delivering our Reimagine strategy. We have invested GBP 250 million so far to prepare our Halewood UK plant for electric vehicle production and with strong global demand for our products, we are well positioned to deliver on our commitments again this financial year.”

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) has launched the Nexon CAMO, a new special edition of its popular compact SUV, with prices beginning at INR 999,000 ex-showroom in Delhi. The introduction coincides with the brand’s celebration of a decade since the Nexon’s original debut and the trust of over 1.1 million customers, marking the model’s enduring success in the Indian automotive market.

The new CAMO variant distinguishes itself with two exclusive premium paint schemes, named Munnar Mist and Coorg Cloud. The former is a dynamic dark green that shifts to a sophisticated grey in shadows and reveals rich green and golden tones under sunlight. In contrast, the latter is a contemporary grey-silver finish with subtle metallic highlights, designed to offer an understated yet premium aesthetic that complements the SUV's rugged character.

TMPV has equipped the Nexon CAMO with a significant technology upgrade, headlined by an Ultra View Twin HD Digital Cockpit. This features a 31.24-cm infotainment system and a 26.03-cm digital instrument cluster, both from Harman, with the latter including embedded navigation. The technology package is further enhanced by an integrated dashcam recorder that is part of the 360-degree camera surround view system, which also includes a blind spot view monitor.

The special edition is not solely about aesthetics and screens, as it also incorporates a comprehensive suite of comfort and safety features. The cabin includes ventilated leatherette front seats, a voice-assisted panoramic sunroof, and an immersive nine-speaker JBL audio system with a subwoofer. Safety is addressed through seven Advanced Driver Assistance Systems functions calibrated for Indian roads, six airbags and electronic stability control, ensuring the CAMO is as secure as it is stylish.

Maintaining the Nexon’s hallmark versatility, the CAMO is offered across all three powertrain options: a 1.2-litre turbocharged petrol, a 1.5-litre diesel and the segment-exclusive 1.2-litre turbocharged iCNG with twin-cylinder technology. With multiple transmission choices available, the automaker has positioned the Nexon CAMO as a distinctive and aspirational package for a wide range of SUV buyers, reinforcing the model's legacy of innovation as the festive season approaches.

Vivek Srivatsa, Chief Commercial Officer, Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, said, "Since its launch a decade ago, the Nexon has provided comfortable, safe and enjoyable journeys for over 1.1 million families, becoming one of India's most iconic nameplates with an unmissable presence on the roads. This success has been built on constantly raising the bar in safety, technology and design while keeping these innovations accessible to a wider set of customers. The Nexon CAMO carries that spirit forward, with two striking new colours and an elevated technology package that makes it the most distinctive Nexon yet. Timed perfectly for the festive season, it gives customers an even stronger reason to make the Nexon their own."

Japanese automotive company Mitsubishi Motors Corporation has shared an update regarding its upcoming new Pajero SUV launch scheduled for premiere this autumn.

The automaker confirmed that the vehicle combines off-road driving capabilities across weather and road conditions with on-road ride refinement.

The SUV utilises a ladder frame chassis paired with a re-engineered suspension system designed to maintain road-holding performance over uneven surfaces, bumps and terrain impacts. The setup aims to reduce body movement and cabin vibration to support occupant comfort during long-distance driving.

Handling and drive distribution are managed by Mitsubishi Motors' Super-All Wheel Control (S-AWC) technology. The integrated vehicle dynamics control system manages power output and braking to optimise stability and traction across driving conditions.
