Mumbai – Tata Motors Group has released its Q4 FY25 global wholesales data, and while the overall numbers took a modest slide, it’s not quite time to hit the panic brakes—unless, of course, you’re driving a Land Rover, in which case, you probably don’t brake. You glide.
The group clocked 3,66,177 vehicles globally during the January–March quarter, marking a 3% decline compared to Q4 FY24. It’s the corporate equivalent of shrugging and saying, “Could’ve been worse.”
Commercial Vehicles: Still Truckin’, Just a Bit Slower
Commercial vehicles, including the Tata Daewoo range, stood at 1,07,765 units—also down 3%. Not bad considering the global economy is currently doing its best impression of a pothole-riddled Mumbai street.
Passenger Vehicles: EV Dreams, Slight Detour
Passenger vehicle wholesales (including electric vehicles) rolled in at 1,46,999 units—down 6%. While EVs continue to light up dashboards and imaginations alike, it seems the overall passenger segment might have been caught in a bit of traffic this quarter.
Jaguar Land Rover: The Royal Rebound
The real MVP of Q4? Jaguar Land Rover, which managed to buck the trend with a 1% growth—totalling 1,11,413 units. Jaguar purred its way to 7,070 units, while Land Rover roared ahead with a solid 1,04,343. The British marquee duo seems to have found the accelerator while others were still fiddling with the key.
Footnote: The reported JLR numbers don’t include CJLR (that’s Chery Jaguar Land Rover—a JV in China). Apparently, even in spreadsheets, some relationships prefer their space.
Final Lap: Nothing Alarming, Just a Mid-Race Refuel
In summary, Tata Motors Group may be easing off the gas pedal slightly, but with JLR’s performance keeping things balanced, it’s less of a skid and more of a careful curve. The road ahead? Watch this space—preferably from the comfort of a leather-clad, sunroof-kissed cabin.
