The shortage has been attributed to a significant increase in demand for semiconductors during the pandemic which has seen an increase in sales of consumer technology. The production of electric vehicles is also said to have put pressure on demands for chips.
JLR produces the XF, XJ, F-TYPE, F-PACE and Jaguar XE at Castle Bromwich in the West Midlands. Halewood in Merseyside produces the Range Rover Evoque and Land Rover Discovery Sport.
“We have adjusted production schedules for certain vehicles which means that our Castle Bromwich and Halewood manufacturing plants will be operating a limited period of non-production from Monday 26th April,” the company said in a statement. “We are working closely with affected suppliers to resolve the issues and minimise the impact on customer orders wherever possible.

Kuala Lumpur: Malaysia’s Industrial Production Index (IPI) growth in the first two months of the year shows that the external environment has been constructive for the domestic economy.
The IPI, which is a monthly economic indicator measuring real output in the manufacturing, mining, electricity, and gas industries, rose 1.5 per cent year-on-year in February 2021, propelled by a 4.5 per cent rise in the manufacturing index.
