Tata Technologies Q3 Profit Slumps 96% on One-Time Labour Code Charge

/in /tarafından

India’s engineering R&D firm Tata Technologies reported a 96% plunge in third-quarter profit, mainly due to a one-time charge linked to India’s new labour codes, marking its steepest profit drop since listing in 2023.

Net profit fell to 66.4 million rupees ($731,000) in the October–December quarter from 1.69 billion rupees a year earlier. The company booked a one-off charge of 1.4 billion rupees after the new labour rules raised gratuity and leave-related liabilities.

Despite the hit, CEO Warren Harris said the company expects a sharp rebound, forecasting more than 10% sequential revenue growth in the fourth quarter. CFO Uttam Gujrati added that margin pressure seen in Q3 is now behind the firm.

Overall revenue rose 3.7% to 13.66 billion rupees, with services revenue—about 77% of total—up 4.7%. Peer firms including TCS and HCLTech have also reported similar labour-code-related charges.

Tata Technologies’ Q2 profit rises 5% as non-automotive business offsets auto slowdown

/in /tarafından

Tata Technologies (TATE.NS) reported a 5% increase in second-quarter profit on Friday, helped by growth in its non-automotive segments that offset weakness in its core auto-focused business.

The Indian engineering and technology services company, which provides product design, engineering, and manufacturing digitalisation solutions, said net profit rose to 1.66 billion rupees ($19 million) in the three months ending September, up from 1.57 billion rupees a year earlier.

Revenue climbed 2% to 13.23 billion rupees ($150.3 million), driven largely by its smaller technology solutions division, which posted 6.6% growth during the quarter. The company’s services segment, which accounts for 77% of overall revenue, remained flat amid cautious spending from automotive clients.

Tata Technologies, which counts Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Motors among its top customers, has been affected by tariff-driven pressures in the U.S. and Europe that have prompted carmakers to scale back R&D and outsourcing projects, analysts said.

CEO Warren Harris acknowledged that the next quarter could bring “short-term tactical challenges,” but said he expects a strong rebound in Q4 supported by an expanding project pipeline and improving demand trends.

The company’s non-automotive businesses, including aerospace and industrial machinery, continued to show resilience and were key contributors to overall profitability.
