Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), a British luxury carmaker owned by Tata, has announced an extension of its production halt until September 24 due to a cybersecurity breach earlier this month. The company revealed that its global operations are still disrupted as investigations continue. Employees, suppliers, and partners have been informed about the decision to keep production suspended until the specified date. JLR is conducting a forensic investigation into the cyberattack and is carefully planning a controlled restart of its operations. The company expressed regret for the ongoing disruption and committed to providing updates as the situation evolves. This incident comes at a challenging time for JLR, which is already facing declining profits due to increased costs from US tariffs. The cyberattack has further strained the company by halting production as it seeks to strengthen its business. JLR had previously signed a five-year contract with Tata Consultancy Services for cybersecurity and IT support as part of its digital transformation strategy. Despite these efforts, the breach has caused a significant setback. Analysts warn that the prolonged suspension could impact JLR’s supply chain and sales targets, particularly in key markets. The company is currently focused on securely restoring its systems and resuming normal operations as soon as possible.
