Overview

• JLR says some sections of manufacturing will resume in the coming days as it carries out a controlled, phased restart.
• The support is a commercial bank loan guaranteed under UK Export Finance’s Export Development Guarantee, repayable over five years to bolster liquidity and supplier payments.
• Key IT systems were partially restored last week, helping clear a backlog to suppliers, but hundreds of parts makers remain under severe cash‑flow pressure.
• The company says hackers accessed some data, and researchers cite a claim by a group calling itself Scattered Lapsus$ Hunters as the NCSC and law enforcement continue the probe.
• Production has been halted since September 1 across multiple plants with losses reported at about £50 million per week, and some reports say JLR is seeking additional emergency funding.
