rs emerged as the top Nifty 50 and F&O loser on September 25, 2025, with shares dropping over 2% in early trade, hitting an intraday low of ₹665 on the BSE. The decline was driven by a Financial Times report estimating a £2 billion (≈€2 billion) financial impact on its UK subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), due to a late August 2025 cyberattack that disrupted IT systems and halted production at its Solihull, Halewood, and Wolverhampton factories. These plants, producing around 1,000 cars daily, have been shut since early September, with closures extended to October 1, 2025, costing JLR an estimated £50 million ($68 million) weekly. The total loss could surpass JLR’s FY25 Profit After Tax of £1.8 billion. Compounding the issue, JLR was reportedly uninsured for the cyberattack, having failed to finalize a cyber insurance policy brokered by Lockton, as per Reuters citing The Insurer. JLR, which accounts for ~70% of Tata Motors’ consolidated revenue, has not quantified the losses but is working with cybersecurity experts and law enforcement to resolve the issue and resume operations. Tata Motors reported a 62% year-on-year decline in Q1 FY26 net profit at ₹4,003 crore, underscoring the potential severity of this disruption. JLR stated on September 23, 2025, that it is building a timeline for a phased restart while continuing its investigation.
