Tata Technologies: Pioneering the Future of Battery Design
TATA Technologies Wins Major Battery Design Contract from a leading international electric vehicle (EV) battery manufacturer. This new contract emphasizes the company’s expertise and its growing influence in the EV market.
Financial Performance and Market Conditions
In its latest financial report for Q1 FY2025, Tata Technologies showcased a modest growth in operating revenue, reaching Rs 1,269 crore, which represents a 0.9% increase from the previous year. However, this is a slight dip of 2.5% from the previous quarter. Service revenue also saw a minor decline of 1%, settling at Rs 985 crore. Despite these fluctuations, the company maintained an operating EBITDA of Rs 231 crore with an EBITDA margin of 18.2%, only slightly down from 18.4% in the prior quarter. Net income, on the other hand, rose by 3.1% to Rs 162 crore.
Warren Harris, CEO and Managing Director of Tata Technologies, highlighted the favorable market conditions, especially with the manufacturing sector’s increased investment in new technologies and smart manufacturing. This environment bodes well for the company as it continues to work on two EV projects with VinFast and gears up for their launch.
