JLR says some sections of manufacturing operations will resume in the coming days

Tata Motors -owned Jaguar Land Rover announced on Monday that some sections of its manufacturing operations will resume in the coming days, following a cyberattack that brought the marquee British luxury carmaker to a standstill, halting production for nearly a month.

“As the controlled, phased restart of our operations continues, we are taking further steps towards our recovery and the return to manufacture of our world-class vehicles. Today we are informing colleagues, retailers and suppliers that some sections of our manufacturing operations will resume in the coming days,” a JLR spokesperson said in a statement.

“We continue to work around the clock alongside cybersecurity specialists, the U.K. Government’s NCSC and law enforcement to ensure our restart is done in a safe and secure manner,” the statement added.

According to media reports, JLR is likely to incur a £2 billion bill as the company was not insured against the cyberattack. This potential loss could exceed its entire profit for the previous financial year. The luxury car maker reported a profit after tax of £1.8 billion for FY26.

The cyberattack has forced Jaguar Land Rover to extend its production halt till October 1. The company had initially suspended operations until September 24, but later extended the shutdown by a week.

Earlier, JLR disclosed that a cyberattack had targeted it. The luxury carmaker said it extended the current pause in production until September 24, as the investigation into the early-September cyber incident remains ongoing.

According to the company, the decision was taken as its forensic investigation of the cyber incident continues, while it considers the different stages of the controlled restart of its global operations, which will take time. “We are very sorry for the continued disruption this incident is causing, and we will continue to provide updates as the investigation progresses,” it added.

On September 2, JLR first disclosed that a cyber incident had affected its operations. It confirmed that some of its data had been stolen in a cyber-attack amid a prolonged shutdown of its factories in the U.K. 

The financial implications of the prolonged cybersecurity woes are expected to significantly dent the company’s second-quarter results, following a dismal first quarter, during which U.S. tariffs and reduced demand in key markets, including China and Europe, weighed on the results.

Jaguar Land Rover recorded a decline in wholesale and retail sales by 10.7% and 15.1% in the first quarter, and its pre-tax profit plunged 49% to £351 million in the three months ended June 30. 

JLR-owner Tata Motors shares closed 0.16% higher on Monday at ₹674 apiece.
