flag S&P downgraded Tata Motors' outlook to negative due to JLR's post-cyberattack slump, projecting steep revenue and profit declines.

flag S&P Global has downgraded the outlook for Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd to negative, citing ongoing disruptions at its subsidiary Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) after a cyberattack in late August 2025 that halted production through September and early October. flag JLR, now responsible for over 80% of Tata Motors PV’s earnings following a demerger, saw a 24.2% drop in wholesale and 17.1% decline in retail volumes in September 2025. flag S&P projects a 15%-18% revenue drop to €24 billion in fiscal 2026, with adjusted EBITDA margins falling to 3%-5% and net debt to EBITDA rising to 2.5x–3.0x. flag While production has resumed, recovery is expected to be gradual, with risks including weak demand, U.S. tariffs, and delayed product launches. flag The agency affirmed Tata Motors PV’s BBB issuer rating but lowered its senior unsecured notes rating to BBB-. flag A faster recovery could improve the outlook, but further downgrades remain possible.
