Tata Motors eyes supply chain debottlenecking, new markets to boost Q2 demand

plans to tackle supply chain challenges through targeted debottlenecking and tap new markets to meet rising industry demand in the second quarter, as the automaker looks to offset the impact of the Middle East crisis.

The company said it plans to increase demand generation from other markets amid the ongoing crisis and further ramp up deliveries under its Indonesia order.

The forward-looking comments came as Tata Motors reported a Q1 net profit of Rs 1,528 crore, up from Rs 1,411 crore a year earlier. Revenue from operations stood at Rs 19,329 crore, while the quarter included a one-time charge of Rs 100 crore.

The automaker said demand from infrastructure, logistics and freight customers supported its quarterly performance, helping offset an increase in commodity costs.

On the proposed Iveco deal, Tata Motors said regulatory approvals are in the final stage, with only one approval pending. Final clearance is expected by the end of August 2026, while the tender offer is expected to be launched in early September.
