Jaguar Land Rover job cuts could reach 4,000, media say

Jaguar Land Rover job cuts could reach 4,000 roles, British media reported, after the luxury carmaker announced a voluntary redundancy programme for salaried and management staff.

The company said Monday that it needed to adapt to “evolving global market conditions” while targeting about £1.7 billion, or $2.3 billion, in savings over the next two years. It said it had informed staff and trade union partners that the programme would offer eligible employees the chance to leave the business.

JLR said it would give more details later Monday. UK business minister Jonathan Reynolds is scheduled to meet the company's management early this week.

The restructuring comes one year after a cyberattack halted JLR's production in Britain for more than a month and affected its finances. The company, owned by India's Tata Motors, was hit also by US President Donald Trump's sector-wide tariffs.

JLR posted a £244 million loss for its fiscal year ending in March, compared with a net profit of £1.8 billion in 2024-25. It said it had to simplify its organisation, improve efficiency and build resilience.

The company last week opened orders for its new fully electric Range Rover. European carmakers are under pressure from Chinese manufacturers as the industry shifts toward electric vehicles. Volkswagen said Thursday that management and unions had agreed to cut a total of 100,000 jobs by the end of the decade.
