Geographic & Segment Commentary

  • India Passenger Vehicles: Strong quarter with wholesale volumes of ~182,000 units, +46% YoY — nearly twice the industry growth of 24%. Market share improved 200 bps YoY to 14.3% establishing TMPV as firm #2 on registrations. Monthly run-rate scaled consistently above 60,000 units, up from the historical 45,000-50,000 range, constrained only by supply-side bottlenecks. Punch and Nexon emerged among top-3 highest-selling models in India.

  • India EV Segment: Volumes doubled YoY to 34,000+ units with EV mix at 19% in Q1, exiting at 23-24% in June-July (July: 24%). EV market share stands above 40% (43% in June), and June exit crossed 15,000 units/month. Punch EV carries an 8-10 month waiting period despite ~4,000-4,500 monthly supply, with further capacity enhancements underway from this month.

  • JLR Global: Wholesales down 10% YoY (8,000 units) driven by a fire at a Solihull chassis component supplier (Range Rover/Range Rover Sport, several days of production lost, now fully resolved), Jaguar legacy runout (1,500 units), and Middle East conflict impact (1,400 retail units). Retails down 14.5K YoY with temporary quality holes at quarter-end and deliberate balancing out of lower-margin products for mix improvement.

  • JLR China: Wholesales down 25% YoY suffered the largest correction across regions. Market impacted by economic slowdown, retailer stress from domestic OEM overcapacity, and new luxury taxes. Management expects China to worsen
