Street positive on JLR's electric vehicle strategy, sales outperformance

After reporting strong wholesale numbers for the fourth quarter of the 2022-23 financial year (Q4FY23), Tata Motors’ subsidiary, JLR, has now released information above its plans to go electric as well as changes in its brand strategy. Since JLR generates over 80 per cent of the consolidated revenues for the company, these are crucial.
 
JLR will spend $18.68 billion over five years to push its electric vehicle (EV) strategy, as well as on autonomous technology, artificial intelligence (AI) and digital technologies, among others. The management has guided for a capex of $3.11 billion for FY24, increasing to $3.74 billion
