Tata Motors Q4 results: Net profit drops 51% to Rs 8,470 crore, but beats estimates

Tata Motors Q4 results: Net profit drops 51% to Rs 8,470 crore.

Tata Motors on Tuesday reported a 51 percent decline in consolidated net profit to Rs 8,470 crore for the fourth quarter ended March 2025. The company had posted a consolidated net profit of Rs 17,407 crore in the same quarter last fiscal, Tata Motors said in a regulatory filing.

Its consolidated total revenue from operations increased 0.4 percent at Rs 1,19,503 crore against Rs 1,19,033 crore in the year-ago period, thus missing estimates.

According to a Moneycontrol poll of five brokerage firms, the Nexon maker was anticipated to record a 1.1 percent year-on-year increase in revenue, reaching Rs 1,21,345 crore. Net profit was projected to witness a massive plunge of about 58 percent to Rs 7,361 crore from Rs 17,495 crore in the same quarter of the previous fiscal year.

The total expenses in the quarter were lower at Rs 1,09,056 crore compared to Rs 1,11,136 crore a year ago, the company said.

The company also declared a dividend for the shareholders. In an exchange filing, it said "the Board of Directors at its Meeting held today has recommended declaration of final dividend of Rs 6 per Equity Share of ₹2 each (@ 300%) for the financial year ended March 31, 2025."

"The dividend, if declared at the AGM, shall be paid to the eligible shareholders on or before June 24, 2025," it added.

Meanwhile, the sales volumes at JLR rose 1.1 percent in the quarter, helped by strong demand for its highly profitable SUVs in North America and Europe.

While that growth has slowed over the last few quarters due to falling China sales, the high-margin business has been able to offset weak demand in Tata Motors' home market where it sells cars, trucks and buses. Revenue at JLR grew 2.4 percent.

PB Balaji, Group Chief Financial Officer, Tata Motors said "Despite external headwinds, Tata Motors sustained its strong performance in FY25, delivering its highest ever revenues and PBT(bei). On a consolidated basis the automotive business is now debt-free, reducing interest costs."

The company said tariffs and related geo-political actions are making the operating environment uncertain and challenging. "The global premium luxury segment and Indian domestic markets are expected to weather this relatively better," the company said.
