Jaguar Land Rover Automotive Plc (JLR), a wholly owned subsidiary of Tata Motors Ltd, has reported its wholesale and retail sales for the first quarter of FY26 (three-months to 30 June 2025). Despite the challenging quarter, retail sales were in line with the company's expectations, with a 15.1% year-on-year decrease. The decline is mainly due to the planned wind down of legacy Jaguar models and the pause in shipments to the US following the introduction of US import tariffs. Wholesale volumes for Q1 FY26 were 87,286 units, down 10.7% year-on-year and down 21.7% compared to Q4 FY25. Retail sales for the first quarter were 94,420 units, including the Chery Jaguar Land Rover China JV, down 15.1% year-on-year and down 12.8% compared to Q4 FY25.
