JLR halts output at Solihull plant over parts crunch, shares fall to year-low

The production pause, which affects the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicle lines, is expected to last about two weeks.
The production pause, which affects the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicle lines, is expected to last about two weeks.

Jaguar Land Rover has temporarily halted production at its Solihull manufacturing plant in the UK due to supply constraints at a parts maker-the second such disruption in less than seven months at the British luxury carmaker owned by India’s Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd.

Shares of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles fell to a 52-week low Friday.

In a regulatory filing, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles said the disruption is “short-term in nature and limited in scope” and that the company “does not anticipate any material impact on its overall operations or financial performance” for it. It said there were no undisclosed developments that could explain the movement in its securities.

The production pause, which affects the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport vehicle lines, is expected to last about two weeks, a period that overlaps with an already-scheduled Easter shutdown, Reuters reported.

A JLR spokesperson said the company is “working closely with that supplier to resolve the issue as quickly as possible and minimise any impact on our clients or our operations”. Employees will continue attending the facility as usual, the spokesperson said.

The UK-based unit accounts for more than 75 per cent of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles’ consolidated turnover, making any setback at Solihull, a major production facility in Europe, a material concern for shareholders.

Shares of Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles slumped to ₹301.10, their lowest in 52 weeks, before recovering marginally to close at ₹303.20 on the BSE-a sharp 4.68 per cent decline on a day when the benchmark Sensex closed 2.25 per cent down.

In September 2025, a major cyberattack forced JLR to shut down its computer networks for four weeks, leading to a production loss of 50,000 units before output returned to normal levels.
