Reasons behind upgrade
It stated that the demerger of commercial vehicles (CVs) from passenger vehicles (PV) and the possible large benefits from Jaguar Land Rover's (JLR) execution are value-unlocking catalysts.
According to Nomura's estimates, the phase-out of Jaguar's internal combustion engines (ICE) and the success of new EVs will likely cause the margin of India's largest EV player to rise from 7.8 percent in FY25 to 8.5 percent and further to 10.1 percent by FY27, with the potential to reach 11–12 percent by FY30.
Adressing the debt
Additionally, by FY26 and 27, net cash of Rs 57 and Rs 140 per share is anticipated to replace net debt of Rs 1,600 crore, or Rs 44 per share, in FY24.
New launches
"Demand for EVs and PV in the industry has begun to wane. However, the August 8 launch of Curvv and the FY25 launch of Harrier EV should support volumes, the brokerage stated in a recent note on the business.
