However, there has been an increase in incentives in the U.S. market across the board. Jaguar Land Rover, in particular, is faring better compared to pre-Covid levels in this regard. The analysts also pointed out that Jaguar Land Rover’s operations might encounter some near-term headwinds due to supply challenges.
Last week, S&P Global revised the credit ratings of JLR and Tata Motors. Tata Motors has been upgraded to “BBB” with a "stable" outlook from “BB+” with an outlook rating of "watch positive".
Jaguar Land Rover has been upped to “BBB-” from “BB”, while the ratings agency’s outlook improved on the business to "positive" from "watch positive".
