Jaguar Land Rover said a cyber incident had “severely disrupted” its retail and production activities this week.
The U.K. automaker, owned by Tata Motors Ltd, said the intrusion forced it to shut down its systems, adding that it had no evidence customer data was stolen.
“We are now working at pace to restart our global applications in a controlled manner,” JLR said on its website.
It comes amid a surge in cyber incidents affecting U.K. businesses this year.
Retailer Marks & Spencer Group Plc only resumed full operations in August after a cyberattack brought chaos for nearly four months. Supermarket chain Co-Op suffered a data breach in April, while luxury department store Harrods was also recently targeted.
