Tata Motors reported its financial performance for Q3 FY25, demonstrating stable growth and resilience amid market conditions. The company delivered higher revenues and improved profitability, driven by strong contributions from its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) segment. While the commercial vehicle segment faced volume pressures, cost optimization measures and PLI incentives supported margins. Key highlights include record quarterly revenue for JLR, EBITDA margin improvements, and sustained free cash flow generation. Management remains optimistic about demand recovery and product-led growth in the upcoming quarters.

The company achieved an EBITDA of ₹15,5000 Cr at a 13.7% margin despite a 60-bps decline. EBIT for the quarter stood at ₹10,000 Cr, reflecting an 8.9% margin, an increase of 60 bps.
Despite challenges, Tata Motors' Profit Before Tax (PBT) before exceptional items (bei) was ₹7,700 Cr, reflecting a marginal drop of ₹75 Cr compared to the previous quarter. The company recorded a net profit of ₹5,600 Cr.

Revenue: £7.5B, up 1.5% YoY
EBITDA Margin: 14.2%, down 200 bps
EBIT Margin: 9.0%, up 20 bps
PBT (bei): £523M, down from £627M YoY
JLR maintained its strong performance, delivering its ninth successive profitable quarter, achieving record revenue for Q3 and the highest EBIT margin in a decade. Wholesales improved following supply disruptions in Q2 FY25.
Tata Commercial Vehicles (CV)
Revenue: ₹18.4K Cr, down 8.4% YoY
EBITDA Margin: 12.4%, up 130 bps
EBIT Margin: 9.6%, up 100 bps
PBT (bei): ₹1.7K Cr
Tata Motors’ commercial vehicle segment witnessed a decline in revenue due to lower volumes and mix. However, EBITDA margins improved primarily due to material cost savings and PLI incentives.
Tata Passenger Vehicles (PV)
Revenue: ₹12.4K Cr, down 4.3% YoY
EBITDA Margin: 7.8%, up 120 bps
EBIT Margin: 1.7%, down 40 bps
PBT (bei): ₹292 Cr
Passenger vehicle revenue saw a decline of 4.3% YoY, but EBITDA margins expanded by 120 bps due to cost controls and incentives.
The broader auto sector has been facing supply chain constraints, rising material costs, and fluctuating demand. Tata Motors' JLR business performed better than sector expectations, while the commercial vehicle business saw some weakness due to cyclical trends. However, the PLI incentives and cost optimization measures helped offset some of the pressures.
PB Balaji, Group Chief Financial Officer, Tata Motors said: “In Q3, the performance of all businesses improved sequentially. For Ytd FY25, our business grew 1.6% over the previous year to ₹323.0K Cr and delivered a robust PBT (bei) of ₹22.3K Cr (+14.5%). The fundamentals of the business are strong and therefore despite external challenges we are confident of delivering another strong performance this year.”
