Will Tata Motors Recover After the JLR Cyber Shock and Weak Q2 Numbers?
About Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (PV) is one of India’s fastest-growing automotive businesses with strong positioning across EVs, compact SUVs, and premium SUVs. The company has recently undergone a structural demerger, enhancing visibility between JLR and domestic PV operations. Q2 FY26 has been the most volatile quarter in years due to the severe cyber incident at JLR, resulting in revenue collapse, margin erosion, and extraordinary adjustments.
Q2 FY26 was a mixed quarter for Tata Motors: domestic PV remained strong, but JLR’s cyber attack caused an unprecedented setback. Below is the complete breakdown.
