Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), Britain's biggest carmaker, has confirmed it will extend its shutdown of production until at least 1 October 2025. The move comes after a severe cyberattack in late August that forced the company to halt operations across multiple plants.
The decision affects factories in the UK and overseas, leaving uncertainty for workers, suppliers and dealers. JLR explained the extension was needed to rebuild systems and ensure a safe restart. The suspension, however, could have a ripple effect on more than 200,000 people.
