Tata’s JLR to cut 1,000 UK jobs amid slumping sales

LONDON: Jaguar Land Rover, owned by Tata Motors, said it will cut 1,000 jobs and reduce production at two units as the UK carmaker blamed Brexit, slumping sales of diesel cars and regulatory issues for its woes. Jaguar sales have fallen 26 per cent and Land Rover dropped 20 per cent this year and the company said it will not be renewing the contracts of 1,000 temporary workers at two factories.
