What everyone agrees on
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the British luxury car manufacturer owned by India's Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd, announced on Monday, September 7, 2026, its intention to cut approximately 4,000 jobs globally over the next two years.
This represents about 10% of its current workforce.
The company aims to save approximately 1.7 billion pounds (about 1.98 billion euros or 2.3 billion dollars) and lower its break-even point.
The job cuts are part of a broader cost-reduction plan driven by increasing costs, falling sales, Chinese competition, US tariffs imposed by US President Donald Trump, and the fallout from a cyberattack that occurred a year prior and disrupted production.
The majority of the cuts are expected to affect office roles and its UK operations, and the company plans to implement a voluntary redundancy program.
