NEW DELHI – Wholesale sales of Tata Motors Ltd.'s wholly-owned UK-based subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover fell over 24% on year in the September quarter and retail sales declined 17% on year, as a major cyberattack forced the company to stop production in the final month of the quarter. Moreover, sales were impacted by the planned winding down of its legacy Jaguar models and incremental tariffs on cars exported to the US, the company said in a press release Tuesday.
Wholesale sales of Jaguar Land Rover in the September quarter were 66,165 units, excluding sales by its joint venture Chery Jaguar Land Rover China. Retail sales, which include sales through its Chinese joint venture, were at 85,495 units. "It has been a challenging quarter for JLR. In the first two months, our performance was robust and in line with our expectations," Jaguar Land Rover's Chief Executive Officer Adrian Mardell said.
Retail volume in the September quarter contracted in all of the carmaker's markets. Sales in the UK fell 32% on year, that in North America fell 9%, in Europe sales were down 12%, China saw a fall of 22.5%, and sales in West Asia and North Africa contracted nearly 16%.
"The UK was particularly impacted by the planned wind-down of legacy Jaguar models and the cyber incident in September, while a reduction in domestically-produced vehicle sales from CJLR in China was partially offset by an increase in imported vehicle sales," the company said.
The company will restart its manufacturing operations in a phased manner as it recovers from the cyberattack. From Wednesday, work will begin at its engine production plant in Wolverhampton, and later on in Nitara and Solihull.
For the June quarter, the parent company, Tata Motors, had reported a consolidated net profit of INR 39.24 billion on a revenue of INR 1.04 trillion. On Tuesday, its shares closed slightly more than 2% lower at INR 698.05 on the National Stock Exchange. End
