Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) reported a marginal year-on-year increase of 1.1% in wholesale dispatches to dealers for the fourth quarter of FY25, reaching 1,11,413 units (excluding the Chery Jaguar Land Rover China JV). While the numbers reflect a steady performance overall, growth was uneven across regions.
Europe led the recovery with a 10.9% rise in volumes, followed by North America, which saw a notable 14.4% increase despite prevailing tariff challenges. The UK market remained mostly flat with a slight 0.8% rise. However, dispatches in China fell sharply by 29.4%, and other global markets declined by 8.1%.
Retail sales for Q4 FY25 were down 5.1% compared to the same quarter of FY24, signaling some softening of consumer demand or delays in conversion from wholesale to retail. A key highlight of the quarter was the contribution from the luxury SUV lineup, Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, and Defender, which accounted for 66.3% of total wholesale volumes in Q4 and 67.8% for the full fiscal year.
For the full year ending March 31, 2025, JLR reported flat wholesale volumes at 4,00,898 units, while retail sales stood at 4,28,854 units, also unchanged from FY24. Despite muted volume growth, the company met a significant milestone in its Reimagine strategy by achieving a net debt zero position, closing the year with a net cash positive status.
JLR plans to announce its detailed FY25 financial results in May 2025, along with its guidance for FY26. The automaker continues to focus on profitability, a premium product mix, and financial discipline as part of its long-term strategic goals.
