**Tata Motors Shares Surge as Jaguar Land Rover Secures $2 Billion Government-Backed Loan**
*By Mudit Dube | September 29, 2025, 10:55 AM*
Tata Motors’ shares experienced a notable rise today following news that its subsidiary, Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), has secured a $2 billion (1.5 billion GBP) loan. This loan is privately financed and guaranteed by the UK’s export credit agency, UK Export Finance.
### Loan to Support JLR’s Recovery Post-Cyberattack
The financial assistance aims to alleviate pressure on JLR’s suppliers and enable a phased resumption of operations. In August, JLR suffered a severe cyberattack that forced the automaker to shut down production lines and IT networks, significantly disrupting business.
### Operational Impact: Production Halt and Financial Losses
Due to the cyberattack, JLR extended its production halt until next month. According to the *Financial Times*, the company could face losses amounting to approximately $2 billion, as it was uninsured against this cyber incident. Such a loss has the potential to erase the entire profit for the fiscal year 2025.
Following the announcement of a phased recommencement of operations, Tata Motors shares climbed by 1.45%, closing at 673.95 per share on Friday.
### Government-Backed Financial Strategy
The UK government confirmed that JLR will repay the 1.5 billion GBP loan over five years. The loan was arranged through a commercial bank and is backed by UK Export Finance. This move forms part of a broader governmental effort to support JLR suppliers who were also impacted by the cyberattack, which caused operational disruptions and delayed payments across the supply chain.

The loan and the phased restart signal a positive step towards stabilizing JLR’s operations and mitigating the financial impact of the cyberattack, boosting investor confidence in Tata Motors.
