exchange rate volatility, which can
impact revenues and profits.

the UK through JLR and Tata Steel leaves
it vulnerable to the ongoing

posed by Brexit.

streams from key sectors such as steel,
automobiles, and IT services.

acquisitions, a strong brand reputation, and its

• Despite challenges like geopolitical risks,
competition, and operational complexities, Tata is

demand for electric vehicles and sustainable
