The fall came after reports suggested a temporary shutdown at Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) Solihull plant in the UK.
Supplier Issue Halts Production
According to reports, JLR has paused production on some vehicle lines for two weeks. This is due to a shortage of parts from suppliers.

JLR’s Importance to Tata Motors
JLR plays a major role in Tata Motors’ business. It contributes nearly 70 percent of the company’s total revenue.
Because of this, any disruption in JLR operations directly affects investor confidence and the company’s stock performance.
Earlier Cyberattack Added Pressure
This is not the first challenge for JLR. In September 2025, the company faced a major cyberattack.

A hacker group claimed responsibility and said it had accessed company systems. JLR reportedly did not have insurance for such cyber risks, increasing the financial impact.
Financial Impact and Weak Performance
JLR had reported a profit after tax of £1.8 billion in FY25. However, estimates suggest that losses from disruptions could reach £2 billion, possibly wiping out its earnings.
In the third quarter, JLR posted revenue of £4.5 billion, down 39 percent year-on-year. It also reported a pre-tax loss of £310 million, excluding special items.
Performance was affected by lower sales, cyberattack issues, higher US tariffs, and weak demand in China.
