Tata Motors were up 5 per cent at Rs 509.95 on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) in Tuesday’s intra-day trade after the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary – Jaguar Land Rover UK, reported good operational performance in the July-September quarter (Q2FY22). The management said JLR expects to see gradual recovery starting in the second half (October-March) of FY22.
JLR expects the earnings before interest tax (EBIT) margin and free cash flow (before restructuring costs) to turn positive in the second half of Fiscal 2022. “While supply remains constrained, JLR will continue to take mitigating actions, including prioritising the production of higher-margin vehicles for the available supply of semiconductors and closely managing costs to bring down the break-even point for the business,” the company said.
