Jaguar Land Rover Extends Production Pause Until October Following Cyberattack

By Cristina Gallardo

Jaguar Land Rover extended its production pause until Oct. 1 as it continues to deal with the fallout of a recent cyberattack.

The U.K. automaker, owned by India's Tata Motors, said Tuesday that the extension is needed in order to give clarity for the next week, as it continues to work on a timeline for a phased restart of its operations.

The company, which manufacturers Land Rover, Jaguar and Range Rover models, stopped production at the beginning of September after reporting manufacturing and retail operations had been severely disrupted by a cyberattack.

It later discovered that some data had been affected, without being more specific, adding that it would contact any customers and suppliers should it find their data was breached.

"We fully recognise this is a difficult time for all connected with JLR and we thank everyone for their continued support and patience," the company said Tuesday.

A probe into the cyber incident continues, with Jaguar Land Rover's teams working alongside cybersecurity specialists, the U.K.'s National Cyber Security Centre and law enforcement officials, the company said.

U.K. Business Secretary Peter Kyle and Industry Minister Chris McDonald are expected to visit Jaguar Land Rover on Tuesday to meet with companies in its supply chain, which have voiced concerns over the impact of a production halt on their finances.
