UP Brothers Prove Sharing Is Overrated, Buys Three Matching Land Rover Defender
Three brothers posed with their respective Land Rover Defender SUVs in a clip, carrying a bright smile and pride in their eyes upon purchasing the luxury vehicle. The Land Rover Defender has been a spectacular success in the Indian market. It has rapidly become automobile enthusiasts' favourite SUV, hailed as a symbol of wealth and power due to its strong appearance on the road. Auto fanatics would've noted almost every video of the Land Rover Defender attracting eyeballs and humungous views over social media. Now, another video of the vehicle has emerged, where these three brothers taking delivery of three different Defenders on a single day grabbed the attention. An old clip of these three brothers purchasing the Land Rover Defender together has resurfaced on the internet from the northern state of Uttar Pradesh in India. The video shows three SUVs parked in front of the showroom, all finished in shiny White. The brothers can be seen standing next to the SUVs while also dressed in white and soaking in the laughter, cheers and pride expressed by their friends and family members behind them. As the video progressed, the vehicles were unveiled before the three brothers posed with their respective Land Rover Defenders and wore a wry smile on their faces, reflecting their excitement and a great sense of pride at owning the luxury vehicle. The Defender 110 currently has an ex-showroom price of Rs 1.39 Crores in the Indian market, making it among the most expensive automobiles in the country. However, it isn't clear whether the respective SUVs that the brothers posed with were the Defender 110, since the video is from 2024, when there were more variants available in the country. The collective prize of the three SUVs, though, would've easily crossed Rs 3 crores. The Land Rover's new Defender was introduced in India in 2020. The luxury vehicle was updated to boast of a major variant rejig, which allowed the Defender lineup to be streamlined perfectly by 2025. The Defender continues to excite and entice customers, coming in three body styles: the short wheelbase, standard wheelbase and long wheelbase. The 2025 range has had minor upgrades inside the cabin, including 14-way heated/cooled electric seats, suede headliner and winged headrests, updated 'PiVi Pro' pack, more storage in the centre console and captain seats for the second row. Apart from that, Defender's V8 engine is now also offered on lower variants: X-Dynamic HSE and X. While the P425 variant produces 420bhp, the P525 V8 makes 517bhp, enabling an acceleration from 0 to 100 kph in 5.2 seconds. The P425 variant took 5.6 seconds for the same. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.

Tata Motors shares can fall to Rs 550, predicts Jefferies. Should you sell?
Global brokerage Jefferies warns that Tata Motors' share price could drop to Rs 550, citing a 37–41% year-on-year (YoY) decline in Q1 EBITDA and pre-ex PBT, which also came in 13–22% below its estimates (JEFe). ADVERTISEMENT 'We cut FY26-28E EPS by 8-15% on lower volumes and margins for JLR and India PVs. We expect a 19% EPS decline in FY26E, followed by just 8% CAGR over FY26-28E. Our FY27-28 EPS estimates are 12-21% below Street. We see multiple above-mentioned challenges across business; and we are unconvinced about the Iveco acquisition (A Risky Detour). TTMT stock has lagged Nifty-50 by 21% since Jan (Downgrade to UNPF), and we retain UNPF with a revised Rs 550 PT (earlier Rs 600). We prefer MM & TVSL in autos,' according to a report by the brokerage. Also Read | How to choose a mutual fund: A beginner's simple step-by-step guide The report mentioned that fall in Q1 EBITDA below JEFe was led by lower margins in JLR and India PVs. JLR wholesales fell 11% YoY with lower sales across the US (tariff impact), UK, and Europe. India PV volumes fell 10% YoY, and EBITDA declined 37% YoY as margin fell to 4.0% (14-qtr low). India CV volumes also fell 6% YoY, but EBITDA was flat YoY as margin rose 60bp YoY to 12.2%, the Jefferies report the rising headwinds at JLR, the global brokerage said while the US trade deals with UK/EU at 10-15% tariffs bring some relief, we believe JLR will continue to face severe business pressures due to rising competition and additional 10% consumption tax in China, high customer acquisition cost & warranty expenses, and BEV transition, while its key models (RR, RR Sport and Defender) are now 2-4 years old. ADVERTISEMENT After a strong 45% CAGR over FY21-23, truck industry wholesales were flat in FY24 and fell 4% YoY in FY25/1QFY26; we expect a modest 3% CAGR over FY25-28E, the report said. Unlock 500+ Stock Recos on App On the long-term view, the Jefferies report said that JLR is facing pressures including increased competition and tariffs in China, higher warranty costs and BEV transition, while its key models are starting to age, In India, TTMT's PV market share is slipping, and CV demand is weak, and we are unconvinced on Iveco acquisition too. ADVERTISEMENT The company reported a steep 63% year-on-year (YoY) decline in consolidated net profit for the June quarter (Q1FY26). For the quarter ended June 2025, Tata Motors' consolidated net profit fell to Rs 3,924 crore from Rs 10,514 crore in the same period last year.

ADVERTISEMENT The company attributed the moderation in performance to a challenging demand environment and stated it will focus on strengthening its business fundamentals. Measures outlined include mitigating tariff impacts through brand leverage, improving product mix, and implementing targeted actions to enhance contribution margins. In the current calendar year so far, the shares of Tata Motors have fallen by 13% and in the last one year have gone down by 39.98%. (You can now subscribe to our ETMarkets WhatsApp channel)
