Jaguar Land Rover Faces Profit Challenges Amid Cyberattack and Tariffs; JLR India Reports Revenue Growth

Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) faced significant challenges last year, including a near-total profit loss due to US tariffs, reduced demand in China, and a cyberattack that disrupted production. Despite these setbacks, JLR India reported a 14% revenue increase in FY26, driven by strong demand for premium SUVs like Range Rover and Defender. While wholesale volumes remained stable, retail sales saw a slight decline, partly attributed to the cyber incident and broader industry issues. JLR is advancing plans to launch new electric vehicles to regain market position.
