Setback for Trump administration: California judge blocks policy of arresting people at immigration courts

Brad Pitt has secured a partial legal victory in his long-running dispute with ex-wife Angelina Jolie over Château Miraval, with a judge ordering testimony from key business associates. Brad Pitt has won a significant procedural ruling in his ongoing legal battle with ex-wife Angelina Jolie over the ownership and sale of the French winery Château Miraval.Actor and producer Brad Pitt has scored a partial win in his long-running legal fight with ex-wife Angelina Jolie over Château Miraval, the French winery estate the former couple once owned together and where they were married in 2014.Brad Pitt scores partial win in winery case against ex Angelina JolieCourt papers filed in Los Angeles County Superior Court show that Judge Cindy Pánuco partly approved Pitt’s request to question several business associates linked to Jolie’s former share in the winery. The decision is the latest turn in a closely watched legal dispute that has been underway since 2022 and centres on the sale of Jolie’s stake in the wine business.Pitt and Jolie, who finalised their divorce in 2019 after years of separation proceedings, have remained locked in litigation over Château Miraval, the sprawling estate in southern France they bought together in 2008. Valued at about $164 million, the property became one of the world’s best-known celebrity-owned wineries during their relationship.The legal battle began in February 2022, when Pitt filed a lawsuit claiming Jolie had sold her share of the estate to an investment group tied to the Stoli Group without getting his approval. In his filing, Pitt argued that the pair had previously agreed neither one would sell a stake in the business without the other’s consent.In her latest ruling, Judge Pánuco ordered depositions for spirits executive Alexey Oliynik, who sits on the board of directors of the Stoli Group, along with representatives from Tenute Del Mondo and Nouvel. Tenute Del Mondo runs the wine arm of the Stoli Group, while Nouvel is the investment company that once held Jolie’s 50 per cent stake in Château Miraval.The court also instructed the companies to give Pitt’s legal team dates for Oliynik’s testimony by 7 August. By the same deadline, they must confirm the availability of Marina Troyanovskaya, Stoli Group’s head of marketing.Still, the judge did not grant every request Pitt made. Judge Pánuco rejected his motion for sanctions or financial penalties against the other side in connection with the discovery process.The ruling follows a request Pitt first filed in June 2025, when he sought testimony from people involved in the ownership structure and sale of the winery. Earlier this week, both Tenute Del Mondo and Nouvel formally objected to the deposition requests, saying they were not necessary for the case.The Château Miraval dispute has grown into one of the most bitter parts of Pitt and Jolie’s post-divorce legal battles, stretching beyond family matters into questions of business ownership, contract terms and international corporate interests.For now, the latest order gives Pitt a procedural advantage, but the wider dispute over Château Miraval is still far from over and is expected to continue as both sides press their competing claims over the winery’s ownership and control.About the AuthorTrisha BhattacharyaTrisha Bhattacharya is a Senior Content Producer at Livemint, with over two years of experience covering entertainment news from India and beyond.

Can tech companies learn to love cheaper AI models?

On Wednesday, Chinese cybersecurity firm 360 reportedly unveiled Tulongfeng, an AI tool it says can go head-to-head with Anthropic’s Mythos. That’s the cybersecurity-focused AI model that is reportedly so powerful, the Trump Administration has currently banned it and its more restricted version, Fable 5, from the hands of non-Americans. Earlier the same week Sakana AI, a Tokyo-based AI startup launched Fugu, a model named after the Japanese word for blowfish. The company says this frontier AI model “stands shoulder-to-shoulder with leading models like Anthropic’s Fable 5 and Mythos Preview.” It is also designed for agents, with an ability to orchestrate access to other models though their APIs. The two new Asian model products come as the U.S. government’s ban drags on. It’s order that prevents Anthropic from global access to Mythos and Fable occurred two weeks ago. A spokesperson at Sakana AI told TechCrunch that release of its new model was “entirely coincidental,” yet that hasn’t stopped it from capitalizing on the moment. It’s website advertises “delivering frontier capability without the risk of export controls.” “Sakana Fugu is something we have been building since last year — the research behind it was presented at ICLR this spring, and it reflects an approach that is central to how we deliver frontier-level value at Sakana AI. We were confident in the product on its own merits; the timing simply happened to coincide with a moment that brought it more attention than we expected,” the spokesperson said about launching during the Mythos/Fable export ban. Sakana, co-founded in 2023 by former Google researchers Ren Ito, Llion Jones and David Ha, makes affordable generative AI models that work well with small datasets and are optimized for the Japanese language and culture. While the company is targeting Fugu at Japanese businesses and government agencies looking to reduce their exposure to tightening export controls, it isn’t yet proclaiming a lasting shift away from U.S. AI in Asia. “U.S. models remain important to Asia,” the spokesperson said, a view consistent with remarks co-founder Ren Ito made at the G7 summit in Evian last week, where AI access and export controls were one of the central topics. “We’d characterize the current moment in those terms rather than as a permanent realignment toward any one set of players.” Sakana co-founder Ren Ito elaborated on that view in an op-ed published in the Project Syndicate last week. He urged the US federal government, that consider that its “first priority should be to preserve access,” for America’s closest allies, and argued that “AI should not become a technology that is hoarded; it should be one that is developed together.” David Ha, co-founder and CEO of Sakana, described Fugu as more than just a land grab during a vulnerable moment for a US competitors. It is designed to coordinate agent usage among many models. “Orchestration Models are the next frontier, beyond bigger models,” he wrote on X. Relying on a single provider for national infrastructure, he argued, is a risk the recent export controls made impossible to ignore. “Access to top models can disappear overnight,” he wrote. “Collective intelligence is the practical hedge against this concentration of power.” While Tokyo-based Sakana positioned Fugu as a hedge strategy, a way to preserve access to frontier AI, not replace it, China’s 360 wasn’t hedging. The Chinese firm reportedly unveiled two AI security tools. Tulongfeng is designed to automatically discover software vulnerabilities, and Yitianzhen is built to automate cyber defence and incident response. The product launch, however, came with a message. According to Reuters, 360’s founder Zhou Hongyi described vulnerability-finding AI as a national strategic asset, and flagged what he called the risk of “one-way transparency”, a situation in which some actors could access advanced vulnerability-detection capabilities while others could not.

Police say they believe abducted child was murdered as body found in Outback

In this file photo from 2023, then-Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg (R), husband Chasten Buttigieg and their children Penelope and Gus attend the annual Easter Egg Roll on the South Lawn of the White House on April 10, 2023 in Washington, DC. Buttigieg said his family was subject to a CPS investigation after a false report on June 26, 2026. Drew Angerer/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Drew Angerer/Getty Images Former Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg says he and his children were the subject of an investigation by Child Protective Services following an anonymous report that was later determined to be false. Buttigieg, who lives with his husband and their twin four-year-old children in Traverse City, Michigan detailed the experience in a Substack post on Friday, saying that a police officer and CPS worker had come to his home and notified him of an anonymous report that alleged his children were at risk. In response to the claim, Buttigieg shared that both children had to participate in forensic interviews where no family could be present. Because he was not permitted to be alone with his children until after the interviews, he added they went to stay with their grandparents, away from their fathers. "The twenty-four hours until they returned are among the darkest hours of my life," Buttigieg wrote. When asked for comment, the Michigan State Police told NPR they had received an anonymous report this week that state police and CPS responded to and "determined the report was false." Buttigieg, a rising star within the Democratic Party and potential 2028 presidential contender, first garnered national attention when he ran for president in 2020, making history as the first openly gay person to run a competitive election for a major party nomination. The Michigan State Police have not shared any additional information on a potential motive for the false report against Buttigieg and his family. But in his statement Friday, Buttigieg noted the incident had taken place during Pride Month, meant to celebrate LGBTQ+ people. "It's not lost on me that this happened soon after we shared photos of our family on social media for Father's Day," Buttigieg said in his statement. "Or that this occurred during a month meant to make families like ours feel welcome and safe." News of the incident prompted bipartisan support for Buttigieg, including from Rep. Derrick Van Orden, R-Wisc., who replied to the Michigan Democrat's post on X saying, "this has happened to our family and I agree, this is horrible." "I hope they find the folks that did this and send them to prison," he added. NPR has not independently confirmed Van Orden's claims. Buttigieg, who in his statement described himself as "reasonable" and said he tries to remain calm and low-key, shared his strong emotions sparked by the involvement of his children. "I cannot describe the mix of rage and sadness that I feel at the idea that someone brought our children into this. They are four years old. Four," he said. "They do not know or care what a Democrat or a Republican is. They don't know how politics works. They don't know about hate."

3 days left to lock in 50% off a second ticket to TechCrunch Disrupt 2026

Y Combinator-backed insurance tech startup Corgi became embroiled in yet another controversy earlier this week when Papermark, maker of open source data room software, accused Corgi of stealing its software and passing it off as its own. Corgi denies this, telling TechCrunch. “No code was used from Papermark.” But there were reasons why people believed the initial allegation, which was made by Papermark co-founder Marc Seitz on X, concerning Corgi’s newly released product called Dataroom. Seitz’s post blew up because he shared screenshots showing Corgi’s product using the same language for the same features as Papermark’s, word for word. Deal room software is essentially secure document sharing. It is famously used by startups to pitch VCs and send them supporting materials for due diligence. Image Credits:Marc Seitz/Papermark Seitz went as far as to call Corgi’s new product copyright and license-infringing, and “fraud.” Corgi’s co-founder and CEO Nico Laqua saw the tweet and promised to investigate. Soon after, he posted on X his full denial with receipts of his own, showing that the code was different between the two products. While he strenuously pushed back on the allegations of a license violation (“‘stole my enterprise-code’ is a different claim than ‘copied my style,” Laqua argued), he did admit that relying on a vibe-coding design led to the replica features. “Looking back, we should’ve leaned more into our own language and visual choices instead of taking cues from existing products in the space, and that’s on us,” he posted. A Corgi spokesperson confirmed to TechCrunch that the offending features were vibe-coded and said they have already been changed, downplaying the situation. “The issues were isolated to visual elements on two peripheral settings pages,” the spokesperson told us, adding that these elements were “immediately updated” and that “our team confirmed that no code was used from Papermark.” Laqua and the spokesperson also accused Papermark of making these accusations because Corgi is offering a less expensive product. “I get that this stings since we’re putting out something mostly free that competes with his SaaS. I’d be mad too,” Laqua wrote of Seitz. (Seitz has not yet responded to our request for comment.) Yet, this clearly wasn’t just sour grapes when identical features and wording were used. It’s about a new question: If vibe coding makes it so easy to copy the look, feel, and every function of another’s work, while not copying every line of the code itself, how much does it matter if the source isn’t identical? Obviously, legally speaking, it’s the only thing that matters. So this is not the same as the controversy over Y Combinator alum PearAI, a 2024 startup that admitted to cloning another open source project and releasing it under its own license. Morally speaking, this is ambiguous and will become increasingly common. As fellow YC alum and founder of the agent operating system OpenProse, Dan Barrett explained on X: “In a world where a bot can trivially copy 1:1 the structure of something even if the character-level code diverges … what makes one unacceptable and the other not? existing IP law, incidental to the old world? is there not some greater principle at work here?” Corgi is now vigorously trying to clean up any reputational damage. It has issued a cease and desist letter to Seitz demanding that he take down the tweet, the company confirmed to TechCrunch. The founder of Hello World Cafe, which somewhat competes with Corgi’s coffee shop business, also contends on X that he got a cease and letter from Corgi’s lawyers for his tweet that joked about the Dataroom controversy. Though X still remembers. There have been hundreds of comments and countless subtweets. (Corgi also offers a 24-hour coffee shop, with plans to open more, Laqua recently said on Harry Stebbings’ podcast.) This latest hullabaloo adds to a growing list of chatter around Corgi. The two-year-old startup, f

Anthropic will pay xAI $1.25 billion per month for compute

In Brief Posted: 10:29 AM PDT · June 26, 2026 Image Credits:Christopher Furlong / Getty Images Last year, hackers attacked car giant Jaguar Land Rover, one of the U.K.’s biggest employers. The hack halted production for months and made a dent in the country’s economy. The damage was so severe that the U.K. government decided to bail out the company with a £1.5 billion (around $2 billion) payment, and estimates say the hack cost the British economy $2.5 billion. For months, there was only speculation about who did it. Now, citing people close to the investigation, The New York Times reports that the hackers behind the breach were Russian, although it’s still unclear if they were working directly for Vladimir Putin’s government, were just criminals, or something in between, like criminals operating with the government’s tacit approval. Microsoft was tracking the Russian hacking group and alerted JLR to the information about the hacker’s identities, the Times reports. However sources also said that the FBI, Britain’s National Crime Agency and National Cyber Security Centre, Google’s Mandiant unit, and Palo Alto Networks all worked on the investigation. In what is a rare, but not an unprecedented occurrence in the world of cybersecurity, it turned out that the Russian hacking group was not the only one that breached some JPL networks. A Jordanian hacker who went by Rey had also broken in, according to the Times. Topics Subscribe for the industry’s biggest tech news Latest in Security

US company declares holiday for GTA 6 release day: ‘Unreachable and in Vice City’

When streaming entered in India 10 years ago, it brought along with it promise. The promise of discovering new talent, both behind and in front of the camera. The promise of character development — letting the characters unravel over multiple hours of storytelling instead of condensing their arcs to two or three hours. Then there was also the promise of telling stories that otherwise rarely make it to the big screen — of an India less explored, about Indians less known, and brought to fruition by talent that’s considered too offbeat to co-exist with the mainstream.A couple of years into Indian programming, Netflix came up with Ivan Ayr’s cop drama Soni — a lived-in account of two women cops in Delhi. In many ways, it served as a palate-cleanser for Richie Mehta’s International Emmy Award-winning drama Delhi Crime, which released a couple of months later. The following year, Netflix backed Sooni Taraporewala’s film Yeh Ballet, another heartwarming indie that probably wouldn’t have found a home in the absence of the streaming platform.Even when Netflix India and its fellow OTT platforms — Amazon Prime Video India, ZEE5, and JioHotstar — were not putting their might behind indie cinema, they at least had good taste and the conviction to acquire these films, not only giving them a platform to shine, but also making them their own. But something shifted within the pandemic. One would imagine when people across the world, holed up in their homes, flocked to the television and smartphone screens, they’d watch anything and everything that’s thrown at them. With Soni on Netflix India, came the promise of streaming platforms saving indie cinema.That’s the argument that’s put forth when one argues the crisis theatrical exhibition is undergoing since then — the audience is now more informed and exposed, thanks to the consumption of world, indie, and regional cinema on OTT, triggered by the pandemic. That’s why they don’t think twice before rejecting anything mainstream that’s substandard, leading to all-time low footfalls in cinema halls. So, are they then staying back at home and marvelling at indie gems on streaming? No. Because there aren’t too many of them that OTT platforms are championing now, as much as they used to when they first entered India. “I felt the streaming service was the answer for an independent film to find a home because indie films have never found proper distribution. I’ve done films which have found just two shows in Mumbai, and never got an adequate release. That happened initially, but now the clutter is so much that it’s difficult for a film that’s not commissioned to find a home,” Rasika Dugal told SCREEN. The actor’s indie film Fairy Folk, which released in cinemas in March 2024, hasn’t found a streaming platform yet despite her reputation as a leading OTT star with shows like Mirzapur and Delhi Crime. As she pointed out, the “clutter” is a major hurdle. After OTT giants witnessed what India, a population of 1.48 billion, can do to its subscription and viewership numbers sitting at home during the pandemic, the mandate shifted from carving out a niche in the country to conquering the nation’s voluminous masses. Acquisition of tentpole films helped further, since they couldn’t find a theatrical release during the pandemic. As a result, streaming became the only go-to distribution channel for films big and small. And we all know who comes out on top in that face-off between David and Goliath. Want an OTT release? Go to the theatres first So, then streaming platforms devised a new criteria for choosing films for acquisition — a qualifying theatrical release first, the performance of which would determine whether you get acquired or not, on what terms, and most crucially, at what price. For reference, when Netflix India acquired Chaitanya Tamhane’s 2020 Marathi film The Disciple, it was one of the most accomplished indie films in recent memory, winning key awards at both the Venice International Film Festival a

Apple was surprised by AI-driven demand for Macs

Tata Electronics, an Indian electronics and semiconductor manufacturer and a key supplier to Apple and Tesla, among other tech giants, confirmed a data breach weeks after files purportedly obtained from the company appeared on a hacker forum. The confirmation comes as the hacker forum listing claims to offer more than 630GB of data allegedly stolen from Tata Electronics, comprising over 204,300 files. A review of a sample of the files by TechCrunch found what appear to be Apple supplier specifications and Tesla manufacturing documents. The authenticity, provenance, and completeness of the data could not be independently verified. Founded in 2020, Tata Electronics has emerged as a key player in India’s push to expand electronics manufacturing and semiconductor production. The company operates facilities across India and employs more than 75,000 people, per its parent company’s website. Tata has forged partnerships with global companies including Apple, ASML, Intel, Qualcomm, and Tesla as manufacturers diversify supply chains beyond China and increasingly turn to India as an alternative production hub. Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told TechCrunch that the data advertised on the forum included Outlook email conversations, SAP-related information, and documents purportedly linked to some of Tata Electronics’ customers, including Apple and Tesla. A Tata Electronics spokesperson confirmed the incident in a statement to TechCrunch, saying the company had identified a cybersecurity incident on some of its systems “a few weeks ago” and had immediately activated its response protocols. The spokesperson added that the incident had “no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” However, the company declined to answer questions about the nature of the compromised data, the number of affected individuals or organizations, whether customers had been notified, and whether any information belonging to clients such as Apple and Tesla was exposed. Reuters reported that Tata Electronics informed some employees at its iPhone assembly operations last week about the data breach. The report also said Apple was investigating the incident and that a ransom demand had been made to Tata Electronics. The breach comes as Tata Group assumes a growing role in global technology supply chains. The company entered iPhone manufacturing in 2023 through the acquisition of the India operations of Taiwanese contract manufacturer Wistron, a longtime Apple supplier. Tata Electronics later acquired a 60% stake in the Indian unit of Pegatron, another major Apple manufacturing partner. Tata also signed a semiconductor supply deal with Tesla in 2024, highlighting its expanding relationships with some of the world’s largest technology companies. Apple and Tesla did not respond to TechCrunch’s requests for comment. When you purchase through links in our articles, we may earn a small commission. This doesn’t affect our editorial independence.

Waymo Is Trying to Crack Down on Solo Kids in Driverless Cars

Waymo has recalled its fleet of nearly 4,000 robotaxis to restrict them from driving on highways while it figures out how to make the vehicles behave around construction zones. The recall comes after Waymo identified at least 13 instances of its robotaxis driving into highway sections that were closed for construction. Six of these happened in Phoenix, Arizona in April, and seven occurred in San Francisco, California in May. Waymo pulled its robotaxis from all highways on May 19, and a fix for the problem is “currently under development,” according to filings with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). The company is not pulling vehicles off the road and is still operating on surface streets, though the company has periodically paused service during severe weather that could lead to flooding. “We identified an area of improvement regarding performance around freeway construction zones,” the company said in a statement to TechCrunch. “We voluntarily restricted freeway operations last month while making improvements, proactively notified state and federal regulators, and decided to file a voluntary software recall with NHTSA.” This is the sixth recall Waymo has issued for its robotaxis. In May, the company recalled its robotaxis after they drove into flooded roads, and in December, it issued one to address its vehicles’ illegal behavior around school buses. Waymo has previously issued recalls to fix low-speed collisions with chains and gates and telephone poles, and one to solve a problem regarding towed trucks. The company’s driving software is currently under investigation by the NHTSA and National Transportation Safety Board regarding its behavior around school buses after one of its robotaxis struck a child near a school in January. Alphabet-owned Waymo says its vehicles have driven more than 170 million miles autonomously, and claims they have demonstrated a 13x reduction in serious-injury-or-worse crashes when compared to human drivers. The robotaxi company is in the middle of a massive expansion, planning to launch in more than 20 cities this year alone, including in London and Tokyo. The expansion has helped highlight a number of edge cases that Waymo’s robotaxi software has struggled with, which now includes highway construction zones. Waymo, which started offering highway rides in November 2025, told the NHTSA that its robotaxis “did not recognize and drove past ramp closure signs into pre-planned freeway construction zones” in mid-April in Phoenix. After a review, the company’s “Field Safety Committee” restricted freeway operations in the city while Waymo worked on a fix, the NHTSA documents show. On May 18, seven Waymo robotaxis drove into highway lanes under active construction in the San Francisco Bay Area because the company’s software was “prioritizing the avoidance of other freeway hazards and/or failing to recognize the construction zone.” The company suspended all freeway driving the following day. Waymo’s safety board decided to issue the recall on June 8. Footage of some of these incidents were shared on social media. On May 19, X user @Elliot_slade posted a video where they claimed a Waymo “blasted through cones,” and said it was “chased” by police. “There were construction signs,” Slade told CBS News last month. “There were lights going on. Police in the distance and it sped up. That’s when I looked at my fiancée, we’re done. This is it. We’re dead. We’re going to die right here in the Waymo.” Waymo offered Slade “three free rides up to $40 each in the future,” according to CBS.

Neymar breaks down in tears after making FIFA World Cup 2026 squad: ‘Thank you, Brazil’

Harry Kane’s career has been defined by its late-stage urgency. The move to Bayern in search of trophies, ended in a barren first season. That was followed by a gradual uplift which transitioned into titles and the unyielding admiration of a Munich public that got enamored by the tireless workrate of the Englishman.Kane at Bayern is a revelation – dropping deep into the midfield, being an elite ball distributor, while maintaining an intelligent press. And it has not come at the cost of goals (nearly one a game). He was already England’s greatest striker before the move but inexplicably has become a complete version of himself. That finished product turned up against Croatia on Thursday. The striker, in England’s first World Cup game, and perhaps in his last tournament as the force that he is, displayed a masterful performance against a seasoned, veteran opponent. Ten minutes in, Noni Madueke was carelessly brought down by Luka Modric in the Croatia box. Kane, who’s last major act for England at a World Cup was to miss a penalty against France, went through that nightmare again when Dominik Livakovic dived to his right and denied a goal. But after English protests VAR declared that the keeper had moved out of his line early and the penalty would need to be retaken. Kane went again, and this time sent Livakovic the wrong way to open England’s account. Croatia came right back with a goal from the English playbook – specifically from the European championship final in 2024. In that final, Cole Palmer had scored from a Jude Bellingham pullback and on Tuesday Petar Sucic’s cutback was curled in with power by Martin Baturina. Kane’s response: Deploy John Stones ahead of him during a corner as a blocker and guide a header into goal. In a half where England were struggling to create control, Kane’s unerring efficiency brought back the lead against a wise opponent again. But that control England lacked, reared its head again. Virtually the last move of the half, Mario Pasalic dropped a lob to Perisic deep in Jordan Pickford’s territory. The winger, who has tormented the English for a good part of the last decade, dragged four of them with him, and sold the dummy with a headed ball back into the path of Petar Musa, who took the opportunity with both hands. Story continues below this ad England ended the half with their lead lost twice but crucially with an unexplainable brittleness. It was banished moments later. When Tuchel took over England’s reins for an 18-month project that is set to end on the final day of the World Cup, the consensus was that this was too little time. For a manager whose meticulousness is only bested by Pep Guardiola, a few international camps before a World Cup was surely not going to rinse the influence of Gareth Southgate from this team. Tuchel has wanted England to think fast, pass faster. To live life internationally, as the players live it domestically. It’s a marked departure from what has led to their best period of results internationally since they won the World Cup in 1966. Southgate’s measured, restrained England teams played tournament football pragmatically. Possessing nowhere near the talent of their golden generation, he fashioned finals appearances at the 2020 and 2024 European Championships, and took England to the quarters in Qatar and all the way to the semifinals in Russia 2018. Tuchel has plans to change that course and set the ship to his own direction. Story continues below this ad In the second half, an expansive, faster England came out of the gates. Bellingham quickly restored the lead as the half began – taking a Reece James pass on the right wing and going all the way through to the finish. The midfield trio of Premier League winner Declan Rice, Manchester City target Elliot Anderson and Real Madrid Champions League winner Bellingham followed Kane into a methodical midfield press. They finally had the control they wanted. A fourth goal came from Marcus Rashford towards the end, w

FPI exodus from financials cools, but foreign investors remain net sellers

Shares of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd (TMPV) fell around eight per cent on Wednesday, making it one of the worst-performing stocks on the benchmark indices, as investors reacted negatively to the FY27 outlook presented by Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the company's key earnings contributor.Jaguar Land Rover Defender 90 is pictured at a steep track during a demo at the Frankfurt Motor Show. (REUTERS File)JLR accounts for a significant share of TMPV's revenue and profitability, making its guidance closely watched by investors.What triggered the Tata Motors sell-off?The decline followed JLR's Investor Day presentation, where the carmaker outlined its FY27 expectations.Investors were disappointed by the company's profitability and cash flow outlook, which came in below market expectations despite management's long-term growth plans.According to reports, the guidance signalled that earnings recovery at JLR could take longer than anticipated, prompting investors to reassess TMPV's near-term prospects.Concerns over margins and cash flowA key concern was JLR's focus on cost savings and restructuring measures amid a challenging global environment.The company has launched a multi-year cost-reduction programme and is working to lower its breakeven point, reflecting management's caution about demand conditions and profitability pressures.Investors interpreted the move as a sign that margins could remain under pressure in the near term.JLR has also flagged several headwinds, including tariff-related uncertainties, weakness in China's premium vehicle market, changing consumer demand patterns and the ongoing transition to electric vehicles.These factors have raised concerns about the pace of earnings growth from the luxury vehicle business.Why JLR matters for Tata MotorsJLR remains the biggest contributor to the Tata Motors group, accounting for the bulk of its revenue and earnings. As a result, any downgrade in JLR's growth, margin or cash-flow expectations tends to have a direct impact on investor sentiment towards TMPV shares.What lies ahead?Despite macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPV) remains optimistic about its growth prospects for FY27. In his letter to shareholders in the company's 2025-26 annual report, Chairman N Chandrasekaran said the automaker is entering the new financial year with confidence, backed by a strong pipeline of upcoming launches and a multi-powertrain strategy.Chandrasekaran said the company would continue to focus on delivering industry-leading growth while strengthening its commitment to safety, sustainability, quality and customer satisfaction. He added that TMPV aims to remain resilient and agile amid an uncertain global environment.The chairman also highlighted ongoing collaboration between TMPV and its British luxury vehicle arm Jaguar Land Rover (JLR). The two companies will continue to work together on manufacturing, technology and talent development, with a focus on improving scale efficiencies, accelerating learning and maintaining capital discipline, he said.
