Ratan Tata, who led the Tata Group through one of its most transformative phases, was remembered not only for building global businesses but also for redefining the idea of corporate responsibility in India.
Tata Motors: S&P Global Ratings expects Jaguar Land Rover’s (JLR) operating performance to deteriorate sharply following the cyberattack that disrupted its production systems since August 31, 2025.
The Tata Group stock closed 0.55% higher at Rs 401.90 on Tuesday. Market cap of the firm rose to Rs 1.47 lakh crore in the previous session.
Cyber experts at the CMC described the JLR breach as a Category 3 systemic event — the third-highest severity level on a five-point scale — citing its “substantial disruption” to JLR’s operations, multi-tier supply chain, and downstream dealers. A Category 5 event, by comparison, would represent the most severe form of national-scale cyber disruption.
Tata Motors shares fell 2.41 per cent to close at Rs 681.30 after its subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), reported weak wholesale volumes for the second quarter of FY26.
Tata Motors' Jaguar Land Rover will commence a phased restart of production at UK facilities from October 8, following an August cyberattack.
Cyberattacks are no longer isolated incidents — they are crippling some of the world’s biggest companies. Japanese beer giant Asahi has been forced to shut down production after a cyber breach. Earlier, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) halted car factories, losing millions each week, while Marks & Spencer (M&S) suffered massive retail losses. Experts warn ransomware and data theft are now routine, with hackers using AI-driven attacks, deepfakes and phishing scams to disrupt operations and extort money. From beer to cars to fashion, no industry is safe. In this video, we break down the growing threat of cybercrime, the heavy costs for global companies, and why stronger digital defences are the need of the hour.
Operations at JLR have been halted for four weeks and won’t resume until at least October 1. Even after production restarts, it could take months to normalise. Moody’s estimates the halt will slash Tata Motors’ consolidated EBITDA to around $850 million for FY25-26, down from its earlier forecast of about $3 billion.
Global wholesales for Jaguar Land Rover stood at 87,286 units in Q1, down 11 per cent YoY. Jaguar wholesales for the quarter were 2,339 vehicles, while Land Rover wholesales for the quarter were 84,947 units.
Tata Motors shares rose up to 2.39% to Rs 680.15 against the previous close of Rs 664.25 on BSE.
This marked the second consecutive session of losses, with the stock declining nearly 6 per cent over the past five days. The share price remains 33 per cent below its 52-week high of Rs 1,000.
