JLR's tariff blues, weak India demand hit Tata Motors profit

JLR, the Tata Motors luxury division earning three-fourths of its revenue and majority of profits, saw a 9.2% decline in revenue and almost 49% decline in profit before tax to £693 million, the company's earnings released on Friday showed.

"The company's performance in this quarter was impacted by volume declines and a drop in profitability primarily at JLR, affected by the US trade tariff impact," group chief financial officer P.B. Balaji said.

In April, US President Donald Trump imposed a 25% tariff on cars imported from the UK, where JLR manufactures its products. The tariff rate was reduced to 10% later, following the US-UK trade agreement.

Consolidated profit fell about 63% to ₹3,924 crore from ₹10,514 crore a year earlier, missing the consensus estimate of ₹4,055 crore in a Bloomberg poll.

Consolidated revenue was down by 2.5% to ₹104,407 crore.
