Tata Motors Q4 net halves, set to pay ₹6 in final dividend

Tata Motors reports significant profit decline, but remains optimistic about future growth and investment opportunities.

Tata Motors Ltd. (TML) reported Q4 consolidated net profit plunged 52% to ₹8,470 crore from ₹17,528 crore in the year-earlier period which included deferred tax asset of ₹9,000 crore and exceptional item of ₹566 crore.

Revenue remained flat at ₹1,18,927 crore. For FY25, the company’s consolidated net profit fell 11% to ₹27,830 crore, while revenue grew by a marginal 1% to ₹4,36,821 crore.

During the year, Tata Motors Group turned net auto cash positive with a net cash balance of ₹1,000 crore, the firm said.

The board recommended a final dividend of ₹6 per share subject to approval by the shareholders.

Lower depreciation and amortization at Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) unit, better profitability at the Commercial Vehicles division and savings in interest cost were partially offset by lower volumes and lower operating leverage, the company said.

P.B. 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. This is both pleasing and significant as it reflects healthy business fundamentals delivered by a resilient team,” he said.
