JLR margin math wobbles on twin hit from China tax, EU-US trade deal move
New Delhi: Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is staring at a fresh wave of geopolitical and policy-driven turbulence, with China slapping a 10% tax on most luxury cars and the European Union (EU) proposing tariff relief only for automakers that manufacture in the US. For the Tata Motors-owned brand, which does not have a manufacturing base in the US, these twin developments could complicate recovery efforts and further squeeze profit margins. Starting July 20, China imposed 10% luxury consumption tax on cars priced over 900,000 renminbi. This covers most of the models sold in the Chinese luxury car market. Earlier, only cars priced above 1.3 million renminbi attracted the levy from the Chinese government. The timing of the twin hits could hardly be worse. Just a month ago, Jaguar Land Rover trimmed its growth forecast for the current fiscal year. Now, analysts are warning that these latest trade and policy shifts risk derailing the company's already modest FY26 guidance of 5-7% earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margin. JLR had banked on reduced tariffs on exports from its Slovakia plant to the US, but that scenario may now be overtaken by events. The EU, which is finalizing a trade deal with the US for lower tariffs, has proposed that auto firms that have manufacturing in that country and export from there should be given some relaxation from 25% tariffs on imports. 'The two combined geopolitical headwinds pose a downward risk to the company's FY2026 guidance of 5-7% EBIT margin, which had only factored in lower tariffs on its exports from Slovakia to the US after the EU-US trade deal," analysts at Kotak Institutional Equities wrote in a 21 July note. Agreeing with a possible near-term pressure on JLR, analysts at Ashika Institutional Equities said in a note on 23 July that the UK-headquartered firm could face challenges on the two fronts, given the latest developments. 'Both developments present strategic challenges for JLR. In China, pricing pressure from new taxes could impact high-end model sales, while in the West, the absence of US manufacturing limits JLR's ability to benefit from policy support, thereby increasing its relative vulnerability in key export markets," the Kotak note said. JLR rivals' BMW and Mercedes stand to benefit the most if EU's proposal is accepted by US as they have plants in the country, from where they export elsewhere. JLR has manufacturing plants in the UK and Slovakia in Europe. In India, it has an assembly plant in Pune, where it assembles several models like Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Velar, Discovery and Evoque. In FY25, JLR sold 10% fewer vehicles than the previous year in China at 47,200, while Europe saw an 11% decline at 71,700 units. Its biggest market, North America, recorded a 22% jump in sales to 129,000 cars during the year. However, JLR has faced headwinds in the international market since March, when US President Donald Trump announced a blanket 25% tariff on all automobile imports. During April-June, the first quarter of this FY, the maker of Range Rover SUVs sold 87,286 units, 11% fewer than a year ago due to a pause in shipments to the US in April to assess the tariff impact. JLR, which was acquired by Tata Motors in 2008 for $2.3 billion, contributed about 71% to Tata Motors overall revenue in the last fiscal. Analysts have earlier expressed concern that the near-term outlook for the company is weak. 'In JLR, discontinuance of 'Jaguar' ICE models, loss of market share in the China region and imposition of tariffs in the US shall lead to volume contraction ahead," Nuvama Institutional Equities had said in a note on 16 June. The company has acknowledged that its free cash flow will reduce to nearly nil in the current financial year. With the company looking to tackle the negative effects of various headwinds world over, it expects to end the current fiscal year with nil free cash flows. However, the management had earlier said the impact could have been even worse and the measures being implemented to offset the hit are leading to savings. 'The tariff impact will be primarily on Jaguar Land Rover. Tariff has gone up from 2.5% to 27.5%, and under the UK-US FTA, the tariff is 10%. The overall impact would have been 1.6 billion pounds," Tata Group Chairperson N. Chandrasekaran told shareholders at Tata Motors' annual general meeting on 20 June. 'But due to the steps taken by JLR, the impact has gone down to 600 million pounds, which is visible in the margin guidance," he added. At Tata Motors' annual investor day event also in June, the company said JLR will undertake several measures to drive savings, including manufacturing cost reduction, lowering vehicle warranty costs, and improving cost efficiencies in the overall value chain. The measures will collectively lead to savings worth 1.4 billion pounds per annum till financial year 2028, the company said. Jaguar Land Rover declined to comment when asked about the likely impact of the proposed EU-US trade deal and the Chinese luxury tax. The impact of the headwinds reflects in the company's share price. In 2025, Tata Motors' share price is down 8%, even as Nifty Auto has risen by 4%.

Trump AI policy: Build supercomputers, fight ‘woke' bias, slash red tape
President Donald Trump on Wednesday unveiled a sweeping new plan for America's 'global dominance' in artificial intelligence, proposing to cut back environmental regulations to speed up the construction of AI supercomputers while promoting the sale of US-made AI technologies at home and 'AI Action Plan' embraces many of the ideas voiced by tech industry lobbyists and the Silicon Valley investors who backed Trump's election campaign last must once again be a country where innovators are rewarded with a green light, not strangled with red tape,' Trump said at an unveiling event that was co-hosted by the bipartisan Hill and Valley Forum and the 'All-In' podcast, a business and technology show hosted by four tech investors and entrepreneurs, which includes Trump's AI czar, David Sacks. The plan includes some familiar tech lobby pitches. That includes accelerating the sale of AI technology abroad and making it easier to construct the energy-hungry data centre buildings that are needed to form and run AI products. It also includes some AI culture war preoccupations of the circle of venture capitalists who endorsed Trump last signed three executive orders on Wednesday to deliver on the plan.

The nation's policy, Trump said, will be to do 'whatever it takes to lead the world in artificial intelligence.'Yet it also seeks to guide the industry's growth to address a longtime rallying point for the tech industry's loudest Trump backers: countering the liberal bias they see in AI chatbots such as ChatGPT or Google's plan aims to block the government from contracting with tech companies unless they 'ensure that their systems are objective and free from top-down ideological bias.' The plan says the nation's leading AI models should protect free speech and be 'founded on American values,' though it doesn't define which values those should a former PayPal executive and now Trump's top AI adviser, has been criticizing 'woke AI' for more than a year, fueled by Google's February 2024 rollout of an AI image generator.

'Every company will be given the right to build their own power plant.'Many tech giants are already well on their way toward building new data centers in the U.S. and around the world.

Amazon, Microsoft, Meta and xAI also have major projects tech industry has pushed for easier permitting rules to get its computing facilities connected to power, but the AI building boom has also contributed to spiking demand for fossil fuel production, which contributes to global Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Tuesday called on the world's major tech firms to power data centers completely with renewables by plan includes a strategy to disincentivize states from aggressively regulating AI technology, calling on federal agencies not to provide funding to states with burdensome regulations.'We need one common sense federal standard that supersedes all states, supersedes everybody,' Trump said, 'so you don't end up in litigation with 43 states at one time.'WHO BENEFITS FROM TRUMP 'S AI ACTION PLAN?There are sharp debates on how to regulate AI, even among the influential venture capitalists who have been debating it on their favorite medium: the some Trump backers, particularly Andreessen, have advocated an 'accelerationist' approach that aims to speed up AI advancement with minimal regulation, Sacks has described himself as taking a middle road of techno-realism.'Technology is going to happen. Trying to stop it is like ordering the tides to stop.

Branch, Big Tech accountability advocate at the watchdog group Public Citizen, which signed the resolution, called the plan a 'sellout.''Under this plan, tech giants get sweetheart deals while everyday Americans will see their electricity bills rise to subsidize discounted power for massive AI data centers,' Branch said in a statement Wednesday.

PM Modi In London: UK, India To Sign Landmark Free Trade Pact
London: Britain and India will sign a landmark free trade agreement on Thursday during a visit by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, sealing a deal to cut tariffs on goods from textiles to whisky and cars and allow more market access for businesses. The two countries concluded talks on the long-coveted free trade pact in May after three years of stop-start negotiations, with both sides hastening efforts to clinch a deal in the shadow of tariff turmoil sparked by U.S. President Donald Trump. The agreement between the world's fifth and sixth largest economies aims to increase bilateral trade by a further 25.5 billion pounds ($34 billion) by 2040. It will take effect after the British parliament and India's federal cabinet approve it, likely within a year. "Our landmark trade deal with India is a major win for Britain. It will create thousands of British jobs across the UK, unlock new opportunities for businesses and drive growth," British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said. The agreement will be signed during PM Modi's fourth visit to the UK since he took office in 2014. The leaders will also sign a strategic partnership covering areas such as defence and climate, and strengthen co-operation on tackling crime. Under the trade agreement, tariffs on Scotch whisky will drop to 75% from 150% immediately, and then slide to 40% over the next decade, according to the British government. On cars, India will cut duties to 10% from over 100% under a quota system that will be gradually liberalised. In return, Indian manufacturers are expected to gain access to the UK market for electric and hybrid vehicles, also under a quota system, Indian commerce ministry officials said. The ministry has said 99% of Indian exports to Britain would benefit from zero duties under the deal, including textiles, while Britain will see reductions on 90% of its tariff lines. The agreement represents Britain's most significant trade deal since it left the EU in 2020, though the projected boost to British economic output, of 4.8 billion pounds a year by 2040, is small compared to the country's gross domestic product of 2.6 trillion pounds in 2024. The deal will also facilitate easier access for temporary business visitors, though visas are not covered. Britain and India also agreed to ensure workers no longer have to make social security contributions in both India and Britain during temporary postings in the other country. Under the trade deal, British firms will be able to access India's procurement market for projects in sectors such as clean energy, and it also covers services sectors such as insurance. India didn't succeed in its efforts to get an exemption from Britain's Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) - which could levy higher taxes on polluters from 2027 - as part of the deal. The two sides also haven't concluded talks over a separate bilateral investment treaty, which were held in parallel to trade negotiations but still continue.
