Mumbai, May 13 (IANS). Tata Motors on Tuesday recorded a 51 percent decline in its consolidated net profit for the fourth quarter of FY 2025, while the company’s revenue remained stable and registered an increase in its Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) business.
According to the regulatory filing, the net profit of the company for the January-March 2025 period was Rs 8,470 crore, which is less than Rs 17,407 crore recorded in the same quarter of the previous financial year.
Despite the decline in profit, consolidated revenue from Tata Motors’ operations increased by 0.4 percent to Rs 1,19,503 crore, compared to Rs 1,19,033 crore in the quarter of a year ago.
The total expenditure for the quarter stood at Rs 1,09,056 crore as compared to the same period of the same period of the previous financial year, which helped the company to control the cost.
The company’s total income for the March quarter stood at Rs 1,21,012 crore, which is slightly more than Rs 1,20,431 crore in the same period of a year ago.
Operational benefits (EBITDA) stood at Rs 16,700 crore in the fourth quarter, showing a decline of 4.1 percent.
However, interest and earlier income (EBIT) increased to Rs 11,500 crore, which is an increase of Rs 1,000 crore on an annual basis.
Tata Motors also announced the final dividend of Rs 6 per equity share for FY 2025.
The dividend is subject to approval in the upcoming annual general meeting of the company and if the approval is made, it will be paid by June 24 or before.
A bright point in the results was the performance of its luxury vehicle branch, Jaguar Land Rover.
The sales quantity of JLR increased by 1.1 percent due to the strong demand from its high-margin SUV in North America and Europe.
Weak demand in China has slowed down the pace of development, but strong global performance has helped Tata Motors to compensate for weak sales in domestic business, including passengers, cars, trucks and buses.
According to the exchange filing, the revenue of JLR increased by 2.4 percent for the quarter.
Tata Motors Group CFO PB Balaji said that the company recorded its highest annual revenue and profit beefor tax (before the Exceptional Items) in FY 2025.
He said that Tata Motors’ automotive business is now a date-free on consolidated basis, which has helped reduce interest costs.
The company accepted global uncertainties such as tariffs and geopolitical stress, which could affect the auto industry.
However, the company hopes that premium luxury and Indian domestic markets will be strong in dealing with these challenges.
