Tata Motors' balance sheet seen cushioning impact of CV business demerger, Iveco buyout: S&P
Tata Motors ' strong balance sheet will help absorb the impact of its planned commercial vehicle (CV) business demerger and the risks tied to its proposed acquisition of Italy's Iveco Group , according to S&P Global Ratings . In a statement on Thursday, the ratings agency said the company's credit profile is evolving amid slowing demand, tariff uncertainties, and structural changes, but its financial strength remains intact, as per news agency PTI . 'The Iveco acquisition will not affect our rating on Tata Motors (BBB/Stable/--). This is because the rated entity will only house the passenger vehicles business after the demerger,' S&P said, adding that the split is likely to conclude soon. Under the plan, a new entity will hold the CV business and acquire Iveco—excluding its defence operations—for EUR 3.8 billion (about ₹38,240 crore) in what will be Tata Motors' largest-ever acquisition. The deal is expected to close by April 2026. S&P outlook S&P called the acquisition 'strategic,' saying it would double the group's CV revenue and EBITDA from FY26 levels, take annual CV revenue to about $ 25 billion, and improve geographic diversity with a stronger footprint in Europe and Latin America. However, it noted that Iveco is not a market leader in its key markets and offers limited direct synergies with Tata's current CV portfolio. The agency also cautioned that Iveco's acquisition will add debt to the CV business, with the treatment of Iveco's asset-backed securitisation of receivables a key factor in assessing its financial health. On the passenger vehicles side, including Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), S&P expects performance to remain weak through FY26 amid geopolitical headwinds, although higher realisations could cushion revenue pressures. Despite these challenges, S&P said Tata Motors' debt-reduction efforts over the past two years will provide a buffer, estimating the ratio of funds from operations to debt will stay above 100 per cent over the next 12–24 months—well above its 40 per cent downgrade trigger. The stable rating outlook reflects expectations of a strong balance sheet, sound operations, and continued progress at JLR, including the launch of its first electric Range Rover by year-end.

Good news for Tata Motors shareholders! S&P Global Ratings BIG predictions on company, says balance sheet strength to offset…
S&P Global Ratings said Tata Motors' solid balance sheet will help to offset the impact of its planned commercial vehicle business demerger and potential risks associated with the proposed acquisition of Italian firm Iveco. The rating agency noted that the company's credit profile is in a transition phase, shaped by the Iveco deal, the impending demerger, moderating demand, and tariff-related uncertainties. Despite these challenges, S&P said Tata Motors' balance sheet remains robust. S&P Global Ratings On Tata Motors 'The Iveco acquisition will not affect our rating on Tata Motors (BBB/Stable/–). This is because the rated entity will only house the passenger vehicles business after the demerger, which will likely conclude shortly,' the ratings agency said. A new entity will hold the commercial vehicle business, and Iveco will fall under this entity once the acquisition is complete, possibly by April 2026. Last month, Tata Motors announced that it would acquire Italian commercial vehicle maker Iveco Group, excluding its defence business, for euro 3.8 billion (nearly Rs 38,240 crore) in a deal which is set to be the Indian automaker's biggest buyout. S&P Global Ratings further said Tata Motors' passenger vehicle business will be under Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. The company will include TML Holdings Pte. Ltd. (BBB/Stable/–), the holding company for the group's international operations and issuer of the rated senior unsecured notes. 'We view Tata Motors' proposed acquisition of Iveco as strategic. It will expand the group's scale and geographic diversity. We estimate the acquisition will increase Tata Motors' commercial vehicles revenue and EBITDA by about 2x from fiscal 2026 (year ending March 31) levels,' it noted. What Agency Predicts On Jaguar Land Rover? It further noted that the performance of the passenger vehicles business, including its subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover Automotive PLC (JLR), is likely to remain weak through fiscal 2026. 'Geopolitical uncertainties pose significant downside risks. Commercial vehicle sales volumes are also likely to remain under pressure, but higher realisations could temper the impact on revenues,' it said. Still, S&P Global Ratings said, 'Tata Motors' efforts to pay down debt over the past two years will allow it to navigate the tough operating conditions. For now, we estimate the company's ratio of funds from operations to debt will stay above 100 per cent over the next 12-24 months, maintaining sufficient headroom versus the downside trigger of 40 per cent.' The outlook also reflects JLR's continued progress in its transition to production of electric vehicles, including the launch of an electric Range Rover model by the end of the year, it said.

Jaguar Land Rover to recall over 121,500 cars in US, blame it on a faulty suspension
Tata Motors-owned British luxury car marque Jaguar Land Rover to recall more than 121,500 cars in the United States owing to a suspension knuckle issue. The recall affected cars include the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport models in the country. The affected vehicles will be inspected by the technicians, and the faulty parts will be fixed or replaced without any cost to the customers. The US National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in an official statement, has said that the potentially affected cars from Jaguar and Land Rover have faulty front suspensions. The NHTSA has stated that the aluminium front suspension knuckles, which connect the front wheels to the vehicle's critical components like the brake assembly, are at the centre of this recall. The agency has also said that the faulty suspension parts could crack and possibly increase the risk of a crash, which could be fatal if the vehicle is in speeds. The recall comes after the agency launched a preliminary investigation into 91,856 Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles over fractured front steering knuckles back in June this year.

Just a few days back, Tata Motors reported a consolidated net profit of ₹4,003 crore for the first quarter of FY26, down by 62.2 per cent from the ₹10,587 crore recorded in the same quarter last year. The auto company attributed this drop in profit to lower sales volumes across segments and a dip in JLR's profits due to the US tariffs. Tata Motors has also stated that the revenue of JLR dropped by 9.2 per cent on a year-on-year basis in the last quarter of this fiscal, as compared to the first quarter of the last financial year. JLR's revenue for the quarter slumped to 6.6 billion pounds. The company attributed this decline to lowered wholesale volumes due to tariffs and the planned phase-out of legacy Jaguar models. Meanwhile, JLR is undergoing a leadership change with PB Balaji slated to take over as the new CEO from November 17, 2025. Check out Upcoming Cars in India 2025, Best SUVs in India.
