Jaguar Land Rover to Cut Thousands of Jobs

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), the luxury carmaker owned by Tata Motors, is reportedly planning to cut around 4,000 jobs in the UK over the next two years, according to a report by The Times. The proposed workforce reduction comes as the company faces weaker vehicle sales, rising manufacturing costs and the impact of US tariffs. JLR is looking to reduce costs and streamline its operations amid continuing pressure on the global automotive industry.

Reports suggest employees have already been informed about the planned restructuring, with salaried staff and management roles likely to be affected. JLR employs around 34,000 people in the UK. The company is also dealing with intensifying competition from Chinese automakers, high costs associated with electric vehicle production and wider global trade pressures. JLR reported £6 billion in revenue for the quarter ended June 2026, down 9.6% year-on-year, while it is targeting around £1.7 billion in savings as part of its cost-reduction strategy.
