Tata Motors Navigates Cyber Turbulence with Robust Domestic Growth

Tata Motors reported a consolidated net loss of Rs 3,483 crore in Q3 FY26, mainly due to a cyber incident at Jaguar Land Rover. Domestic performance saw improvements, though. Net revenue dropped to Rs 70,108 crore year-on-year. The company anticipates a better Q4 with strategic recovery plans.

Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles announced a net loss of Rs 3,483 crore for the third quarter ending December 2025, a stark contrast to last year's Rs 5,485 crore profit. The company attributes the loss largely to a significant cyber incident at its subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR).

The cyber attack at JLR accounted for an exceptional item worth Rs 1,600 crore and led to a sharp decline in JLR's revenue and production, with the latter only returning to normal mid-November. Despite these challenges, Tata's domestic operations reported improvements, with a 24% rise in revenue to Rs 15,300 crore for Q3 FY26.

Looking ahead, Tata Motors is optimistic about a strong fourth quarter driven by JLR's recovery and robust domestic growth. The automaker plans to enhance its market position with new product launches, including Range Rover Electric, and is set to maintain an investment spend of 18 billion pounds over five years.
