Jaguar Land Rover has laid off one-third of its workforce in India as part of a global restructuring exercise.

In the initial round of retrenchment, Jaguar Land Rover has laid off around 20 employees, mostly from the marketing, sales and administration and HR departments. The company stated that it was being done to increase efficiency in order to find the right cost structure for its workforce.

The Tata-owned brand is in the process of trimming 2,000 non-manufacturing jobs by the next financial year. This is part of the restructuring program dubbed as Project Charge+ which aims to save about GBP 2.5 billion.

In 2018, the carmaker had reduced its workforce by 1,000. In 2019, another 4,500 employees were laid off.
