Asia In Brief India’s Tata Motors, owner of Jaguar Land Rover, has revealed the cyberattack that shut down production in the UK has so far cost it around £1.8 billion ($2.35 billion).

The company last week posted results for the quarter ended September 30th, and revealed it incurred exceptional costs of £196 million ($258 million) as a direct consequence of the attack, and saw revenue fall year-over-year from £6.5 billion to £4.9 billion ($8.5bn to $6.4bn).

The company’s results would have been worse, were it not for sales growth in India.

“There is no denying this was a difficult quarter with disruption from a cyber incident,” said CFO Richard Molyneux. “This is something that is happening to more and more companies that no company would ever wish for.”
