New Delhi, Apr 8: Tata Motors on Tuesday said its unit Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) is evaluating various steps to respond to the tariff announced by the US on April 2, 2025.

In a clarification to the bourses, the Mumbai-based auto major said the UK-based automaker is yet to finalise a plan of action to deal with new tariffs. “JLR is evaluating various options to suitably address impact of the increased tariff in the US market and the aforesaid news article refers to its immediate response,” Tata Motors said in a regulatory filing.

Last week, JLR stated that it has paused vehicle shipments from its facilities in the UK to the US to work out new trading terms in the wake of changes in the tariff structure. “The USA is an important market for JLR’s luxury brands.
