Tata Motors’ luxury vehicle arm Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is set to resume manufacturing operations from October 8, 2025, following a significant disruption caused by a cyberattack that had stalled production since August 31, 2025.
Jaguar Land Rover confirmed it will commence a controlled, phased restart of its production from October 8, 2025. The initial focus will be on the electric propulsion manufacturing facilities located in the West Midlands, UK. Next in line are stamping operations across Castle Bromwich, Halewood and Solihull, along with key units at Solihull’s vehicle production plant, such as the body shop, paint shop and Logistics Operations Centre.
Following the restart in the UK, manufacturing at JLR’s Nitra facility in Slovakia will also resume. The company will also bring back the production of its flagship models, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport, on the MLA production lines at Solihull within this week. Future updates regarding the Halewood plant in Merseyside will be provided later.
To support suppliers during the restart phase, JLR has launched a financing scheme that offers quicker payments. While the standard supplier payment term is 60 days post-invoice, the new model allows upfront cash flow assistance through a banking partner.
Suppliers will receive a majority prepayment shortly after placing their orders, with final payment upon invoice submission. Initially, it targets core production suppliers but will soon include select non-production vendors too.

The production halt from August 31 reportedly caused losses estimated at £50 million per week. With no insurance coverage, JLR could face a possible financial burden of up to £2 billion, greater than its fiscal year 2025 profit. Tata Motors shares were trading at ₹700.45, down 1.7%, and have declined 3% over the past month as per the last update.
On October 7, 2025, Tata Motors share price opened at ₹712.65 on NSE, near the previous close of ₹712.65. During the day, it surged to ₹712.90 and dipped to ₹698.15. The stock is trading at ₹700.35 as of 1:14 PM. The stock registered a decline of 1.73%.
Over the past week, it has declined by 2.51%, over the past month, it has declined by 2.12%, and over the past 3 months, it has moved up by 1.67%.
JLR is steadily moving towards recovery post-cyberattack by starting its production lines in phases, supporting its suppliers financially, and ramping up manufacturing across crucial facilities. This structured approach aims to stabilise operations and mitigate future disruptions.
