Jaguar Land Rover Sets Phased Factory Restart After Cyberattack

A £1.5bn government‑backed loan aims to steady supplier cash flow as systems come back online.

Overview

  • JLR told staff, retailers and suppliers that some manufacturing operations will resume within days under a controlled, phased plan.
  • The Global Parts Logistics Centre has restarted, allowing dealerships to order parts again, though JLR cautions that disruptions may persist.
  • JLR confirmed that some data was compromised in the incident and said forensic investigations remain underway without yet detailing what was affected.
  • The UK will underwrite up to £1.5bn in private financing via the Export Development Guarantee, with repayment over five years, to support JLR and its supply chain.
  • Shutdowns led to furloughs and supplier strain, with external reports citing losses of roughly £50 million per week and warnings to suppliers that full production may not return until November.
