1.3. SWOT

A more competitive vehicle product mix is driving Tata’s improvement


SWOT analysis of Tata Motors

Strengths Weaknesses
• A leading player in one of the fastest growing and largest car • Heavy revenue dependence on JLR (65.0% of 2022 revenues)
markets in the world, India • Falling Jaguar sales since 2018 (-19.2% y-o-y unit sales in 2022)
• Group’s position as part of the larger Tata business empire • Dogged by poor financial performances - negative average EBIT
generates synergies and softens competitive pressures over the last six years
• Both JLR and TML enjoy strong government support • Heavily impacted by semiconductor shortages
• Broad geographical presence (thanks primarily to JLR) • Playing catch-up to develop and establish EV portfolio
• Rapidly growing EV portfolio and capabilities • No in-house battery production capacities to drive EV push

Opportunities Threats
• Rising urbanisation and the emergence of a global middle class • Very strong industry competition to gain EV market share
will sustain healthy vehicle demand • JLR brand position pits it against segment giants such as BMW
• Low-cost offering and geographic location provide favourable and Mercedes and makes differentiation more challenging
access to fast-growing emerging markets (ASEAN, India, etc.) • Concentration of high-end manufacturing capabilities in the UK
• Electrification trend in auto industry opens new growth • Supply chain and production impacts due to weak
channels (powertrain development, charging infra., etc.) macroeconomic environment and geopolitical tensions

and Recent Events

Group Report - Tata Motors - June 2023 7


2. Corporate Strategies and Recent Events

Corporate strategies Description

Tata’s status as a key player in the global car market is built fundamentally on its JLR portfolio and
the iconic Jaguar and Land Rover luxury brands. 65% of Tata Motors revenue was generated by JLR
during the last FY. The division is currently pursuing the Reimagine strategy, which aims to create a
new basis for growth in the autonomous and electrified vehicle market of the future.
JLR has pledged to invest £15 billion (€17.5bn) in electrification and digital activities over the next
five years. Raising production capacity for EVs will be a major focus, with the group’s Halewood
factory to be converted to all-electric production. While JLR will retain the flexible MLA architecture
that can be fitted with ICE, hybrid and BEV options, its next-generation medium-size SUV
architecture, EMA, will be fully electric.
In June 2023, JLR reinvented its corporate identity, replacing Jaguar Land Rover with only the
Accelerate roll-out of initials JLR. The move reflects the House of Brands approach adopted by the unit for its vehicle
electrified and portfolio development strategy. JLR will now have four main car brands: Range Rover, Defender,
autonomous technologies Discovery and Jaguar. Land Rover will be retained as a heritage asset but will no longer feature on
at JLR cars. The Jaguar brand, which has been through various difficulties in recent years, will be
reinvented as an all-electric line-up from 2025. The first BEV Range Rover will be available for pre-
order at the end of 2023, with delivery scheduled for 2024.

Date Recent events


JLR announces the creation of three new tech hubs in Europe, in Germany, Spain
and Italy. This represents an expansion to the unit’s partnership with computing
February giant NVIDIA. The new hubs will focus on the development of driver-assistance
2023 systems and AI-powered self-driving capabilities. The move brings the number of
tech hubs operated by JLR up to nine, adding to existing facilities in China, India,
the USA, the UK, Ireland and Hungary.

2. Corporate Strategies and Recent Events

Corporate strategies Description


The New Forever product range, launched in 2020, is a key strategic lever for Tata Motors,
particularly in its domestic Indian market. New Forever vehicles are positioned as aspirational
products that capitalise on the latest consumer demand trends around safety, styling and
technology. The aspirational focus allows the group to pursue higher margin growth.
During the last FY, Tata’s share of the domestic Indian Passenger Car segment rose 0.6pp compared
Drive Indian consumer
to the previous year to 10.4%, driven by strong demand for the Tigor, Altroz and Tiago models. The
demand with aspirational
Utility Vehicle segment saw even stronger growth figures, increasing its market share by 2.6pp
positioning
year-on-year on the back of the popularity of the Nexon, Harrier and Punch models.
Tata aims to drive sustained consumer demand for its passenger vehicle portfolio through the
continued introduction of new models and variants to its New Forever range. In January 2023, the
group unveiled the new Curvv SUV model, to be launched in 2024, as well as new Punch CNG and
Altroz Racer variants.
To meet rising market demand and keep manufacturing costs down, production debottlenecking is
a major group focus. Tata has raised its Indian production capacity three-fold in the past three
years. In January 2023, the group completed the acquisition of Ford India’s Sanand facility. The
Debottleneck Indian
factory is adjacent to an exisiting Tata complex, thereby generating various operational synergies,
production
and possesses advanced manufacturing assets. The additional production capacity of 300,000
vehicle units per year, scalable to 420,000, will bring the group’s total production capacity in India
up to 1 million units per annum.

Recent events
Tata launches the new iCNG (compressed natural gas) Altroz hatchback. This iCNG iteration follows similar
May
variants for the Tiago and Tigor models. The car is aimed at a younger generation of car owners and
2023
features a voice-controlled sunroof and wireless charging capabilities.
