Jaguar Land Rover said retail sales for the fiscal second quarter fell 4.9% year on year to 88,121 vehicles.
Year to date sales fell 23.4% to 166,949 units.
Wholesale Q2 volume was 75,307 units (excluding the China JV), up 4% quarter on quarter.
“This improvement was lower than planned, primarily due to a lower than expected supply of specialised chips from one supplier which could not be readily resourced in the quarter,” JLR said.
“This was mitigated partially by further prioritisation of production to the highest margin products while new agreements with semiconductor suppliers are expected to enable sales improvements in the second half of the fiscal year.”
The production ramp up of new Range Rover and Sport models improved with 13,537 units wholesaled in the quarter, up from 5,790 in Q1.
