Tata Technologies Eyes Return to Healthy Growth by Q2 FY26, Says CEO Warren Harris

Tata Technologies Ltd is poised for a return to robust growth by the second quarter of FY26, according to CEO and Managing Director Warren Harris. After a year marked by market softness and uncertainty, Harris expressed renewed optimism, citing anticipated breakthroughs in US trade negotiations and the likely resolution of recent tariff shocks that temporarily unsettled global investment plans.

 

Speaking to the media, Harris explained that the company entered the new fiscal year with a bullish outlook, buoyed by encouraging customer interactions and a healthy order book, including major deals with BMW and several contracts exceeding $20 million. However, the unexpected announcement of new tariffs by US President Donald Trump early in the year led many clients to pause or revisit their investment decisions, impacting Tata Tech’s immediate growth trajectory.

 

Despite these headwinds, Harris remains confident that the current quarter’s challenges are temporary. He expects that as clarity emerges from ongoing trade negotiations-potentially as early as May or June-customers will resume deferred product investments, paving the way for a strong rebound in the second quarter. He also noted that the company’s fundamentals remain solid, with a robust pipeline and pent-up demand for new product development across key markets.

 

Harris emphasized that Tata Technologies’ strategy for the coming months will focus on protecting margins while positioning the company to capitalize on renewed growth as macroeconomic uncertainties subside. With a strong order book and anticipated market clarity, the company is set to leave behind a challenging FY25 and enter a new phase of healthy expansion.
