JLR Restarts Production After Cyber Incident as Q2 Volumes Slide, Tata Motors Shares Fall

Investors react as JLR’s cyber-hit quarter distorts the picture for newly demerged Tata Motors.

Overview

  • JLR reported Q2 FY26 wholesale volumes of 66,165 units (down 24.2% year on year) and retail sales of 85,495 units (down 17.1%).
  • Manufacturing is restarting in phases at the Electric Propulsion Manufacturing Centre and Battery Assembly Centre, supported by a new facility that prepays a majority of qualifying supplier invoices shortly after order.
  • CEO Adrian Mardell said the restart follows the recent cyber incident that disrupted operations.
  • Tata Motors shares fell 2.41% to close at Rs 681.30 as markets weighed the JLR update, with the broader indices also ending lower on Wednesday.
  • The demerger became effective on October 1 and Tata Motors allotted 56,720 shares under its LTIP on October 7, while September total sales rose 35.6% year on year to 96,769 units as reports of strains at Tata Trusts added to investor caution.
