Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has extended the closure of its factories until October 1 following a cyber attack, according to a report by Sky News. The company had earlier paused production as it worked to resolve the disruption caused by the incident.
The extended shutdown affects multiple JLR sites in the UK, where operations remain halted. The automaker has not disclosed further details on the nature of the cyber attack, but the decision underscores the severity of the disruption.
The production pause comes at a crucial time for the company, which has been focusing on strengthening supply chains and meeting rising demand for its premium models. Industry experts note that prolonged disruptions may impact delivery schedules and inventories in the short term.
JLR has said it is working to restore normal operations as soon as possible, with additional cybersecurity measures being deployed to prevent further incidents.
