Tata Motors, JLR flag EV supply chain as a separate business risk. They don't name China, but its imprint is all over.
New Delhi: Tata Motors Ltd and Jaguar Land Rover have separately highlighted risks to their electric vehicle business for the first time ever, including potential production delays and shortages, likely as a result of China's stranglehold over the EV supply chain. Introducing a new element in their annual report's principle risks segment, titled 'electrification transition', Mumbai-based Tata Motors and its UK-based subsidiary JLR have both underscored the threat of financial losses if the transition to clean technology is not carefully managed. 'Unmanaged supply chain issues can lead to production delays and shortages," the companies said in their annual reports for 2024-25 without mentioning any specific potential trigger. No other homegrown automaker has mentioned electric transition as a separate business risk in their annual report. The disclosures in Tata Motors's and JLR's annual reports come as automakers globally are grappling with China's export restrictions on rare earth magnets. India's auto sector has conveyed to the Union government that production cuts could begin as early as this month if China doesn't resume exports of rare earth magnets, which are used to make electric motors and other parts for EVs. They also flagged that while China has resumed exports of rare earth magnets to foreign companies, applications by Indian automakers remain stuck. As per several estimates, China controls about 80% of the global lithium-ion battery market and about 90% of the global supply chain for rare earth magnets. 'There is a need for the magnets for both EVs and ICE (internal combustion engine) vehicles," Shailesh Chandra, managing director at Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles and Tata Passenger Electric Mobility, told Mint in an interview. 'Different OEMs (original equipment manufacturers, or carmakers) are in different positions with respect to the stock of the magnets." For the long-term, Tata Motors and JLR are investing towards increasing their capacity to manufacture key components. 'To support this electrification, Tata Group's Agratas is to construct the UK's largest battery cell facility in Somerset, which will provide high-performance battery cells for our new electric models," Jaguar Land Rover noted in its annual report. 'Additionally, we are making significant continued investment in upgrading our core facilities and supply chain for electrification." Agratas Energy Storage Solutions Pvt. Ltd is the Tata Group's battery business, with Tata Motors and JLR as its anchor customers. Also read | China's restriction on rare earth magnets repel Indian EV players China's shadow Tata Motors has raised concerns even earlier about its electric vehicle business's direction in international markets, but that was due to a demand slowdown in Europe and the US. 'Given the uncertainty around the pace of EV adoption in key markets, the company may need to extend the life of its ICE platforms beyond the originally planned timeline. It may also consider launching new ICE variants in the future," analysts at Motilal Oswal wrote in a 11 March note. In its latest annual report, Tata Motors has also highlighted its efforts to localise the battery supply chain that is currently dominated by China. Tata Motors's lead in the electric vehicles segment is being aggressively challenged by MG Motor India, Mahindra & Mahindra Ltd, and Hyundai Motor India Ltd, with its domestic EV market share dropping to 55.4% in 2024-25 from 73.1% in FY24 and 84% in FY23. Experts believe the looming shadow of China on the EV supply chain is an identified risk factor for automobile companies. 'Whether it's batteries or magnets, China has established a dominant lead in the supply chain, which is bound to be a risk for domestic and global OEMs," said Abhishek Saxena, former public policy expert at government think-tank Niti Aayog. 'The current magnet crisis shows that supply concentration can have a business impact." Also read | Indian auto stuck in queue as China clears rare earth magnets for others After US President Donald Trump in April announced reciprocal tariffs on countries across the world, China began restricting the export of rare earth magnets. The Chinese government has started asking for end-user certificates declaring that the products made using its rare earth magnets will not be used for defence purposes. But, as per automakers, the process to obtain the certificates is long and arduous, requiring multiple layers of approvals from provincial governments in China and the Chinese commerce ministry. 'Stocks are fast depleting. So far, 30 applications have been submitted to China, but none has received final approval. The Chinese government has said that final approvals will take about 45 days," Rakesh Sharma, executive director at Bajaj Auto Ltd, said during a post-earnings media call on 29 May. Bajaj Auto has warned about severe production cuts starting July if the rare earth magnet issue isn't resolved.

Tata Motors share price rises 2%, looks set to snap 3-day losing streak; should you buy?
Tata Motors' share price rose almost 2 per cent in intraday trade on the BSE on Wednesday, June 4, looking set to snap its three-day losing streak. Tata Motors share price opened at ₹ 703 against its previous close of ₹ 703.55 and climbed 1.7 per cent to an intraday high of ₹ 715.50. The auto stock, however, pared gains and traded about half a per cent up at ₹ 707 around 12:30 PM. Tata Motors' share price has lost about 22 per cent over the last year, hitting a 52-week high of ₹ 1,179.05 on July 30 last year and a 52-week low of ₹ 542.55 on April 7 this year. Tariff-related uncertainties and economic slowdown in key markets seem to have weighed on stock prices. However, the stock has seen decent gains in the recent past, rising 12 per cent in May, after the company's broadly in-line Q4 results and easing concerns over a trade war. Tata Motors reported a 51.34 per cent year-on-year (YoY) fall in its consolidated net profit to ₹ 8,470 crore. The company's revenue during Q4FY25, however, increased nominally by 0.4 per cent YoY to ₹ 1,19,502 crore. EBITDA declined 4.1 per cent YoY to ₹ 16,700 crore, while EBITDA margin declined 60 bps to 14 per cent. Meanwhile, Tata Motors' sales in the domestic and international markets for May 2025 stood at 70,187 units, compared to 76,766 units during May 2024. Total domestic sales in May declined 10 per cent YoY to 67,429 units against 75,173 units in May 2024. Tata Motors' Q4 results were largely in line with the estimates of experts. However, experts appear slightly cautious as they highlight multiple headwinds for JLR and moderation in demand for consumer vehicles (CV) and passenger vehicles (PV) in India. After the automaker's Q4 earnings, Motilal Oswal Financial Services maintained its neutral view on the stock with a target price of ₹ 690. "JLR is facing multiple headwinds, which include tariff-led uncertainty for exports to the US, demand weakness in key regions like Europe and China, and rising VME (variable marketing expense), warranty and emission costs. We expect margin pressure to persist for JLR and factor in a 100 bps margin decline over FY25-27E," said Motilal Oswal Financial Services. "Even in India, both CV and PV businesses are seeing moderation in demand. Given these headwinds, we have lowered our earnings estimates for Tata Motors by 12 per cent and 5 per cent over FY26 and FY27, respectively. For the lack of any triggers, we reiterate neutral with FY27E SOTP-based target price of ₹ 690," Motilal said. Kumar Rakesh, IT and auto analyst at BNP Paribas India, cut the company's FY26-27E consolidated PAT estimate by 2-8 per cent, adjusting the volume and margin estimates and factoring in the impact of the change in ownership of Tata Motors Finance. BNP Paribas has an 'outperform' view on the stock with a target price of ₹ 830. On the other hand, technical experts point out favourable technical indicators for the stock, which suggest one can consider buying the stock at this juncture. Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investments, underscored that Tata Motors has been consolidating around the ₹ 725 zone for the past three weeks and is expected to continue for another three to four weeks. "The ongoing tight range is setting a strong base for the next breakout. Once the consolidation phase completes, the stock is likely to break out and head higher towards ₹ 810, which is the next major weekly resistance zone. The structure remains bullish with healthy digestion of prior gains," said Jain. Jigar S. Patel, Senior Manager of Equity Research at Anand Rathi Share and Stock Brokers, pointed out that Tata Motors has formed a strong base near the S3 Camarilla yearly support level, suggesting a potential exhaustion of the recent downtrend. This outlook is reinforced by a clear bullish divergence observed on the weekly chart. Additionally, the RSI on the weekly timeframe has shaped an inverse head and shoulders pattern, with a confirmed breakout above the neckline, further strengthening the bullish bias, Patel pointed out. "Given these confluences, the setup points to a high-probability reversal. A long position is advised in the ₹ 690–710 range, aiming for an upside target of ₹ 780. To manage risk, a protective stop loss should be placed below ₹ 660 on a daily closing basis," said Patel.
