· Business · India Today, Times of India
Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is planning to cut approximately 4,000 jobs over the next two years as the UK government has ruled out a financial bailout for the Tata-owned carmaker. The company is implementing a voluntary redundancy program to save $2.3 billion amid declining sales and rising competition from Chinese manufacturers like BYD and Chery.
