On a consolidated basis, TMPV reported a 2,110% surge in net profit to Rs 76,170 crore in Q2 FY26, compared with Rs 3,446 crore in Q2 FY25, led by exceptional gains of Rs 82,616 crore from the disposal of discontinued operations.

The gain, net of transferred assets and liabilities, was reflected in the income statement with a corresponding debit to retained earnings, effectively clearing the liability of Rs 82,616 crore.'

JLR chief executive officer Adrian Mardell said, 'JLR's performance in the second quarter of FY26 was impacted by significant challenges, including a cyber incident that stopped our vehicle production in September and the impact of US tariffs. JLR has made strong progress in recovering its operations safely and at pace following the cyber incident. In our response we prioritized client, retailer, and supplier systems, and I am pleased to confirm that production of all our luxury brands has resumed.'

Shailesh Chandra, managing director & CEO, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, said, 'Q2 FY26 was a landmark quarter for Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles, marked by double-digit year-on-year growth in wholesale volumes and registrations, alongside several record-breaking milestones.

Leveraging a reinvigorated demand environment, our agile approach, strong portfolio, and impactful marketing helped us drive this growth trajectory.
