They didn’t mention cancelling their relationship with Jaguar. I think this is just to get more scale and another car supplier?

Jaguar Land Rover is deprecating the I-Pace (and almost every other model) in order to concentrate on the F-Pace EV SUV along with newer greenfield EV models.

JLR is also owned by India's Tata Group, and most of the upcoming EV models share components with Tata Motor's EVs (eg. Batteries, power electronics, etc).

It can be treated as part of JLR's long term pivot towards the India market, where SUVs and CUVs tend to have strong PMF unlike Sedans, and I-Pace, being manufactured in Austria, is difficult to operate in for an Indian company because of the lack of EU-India FTA.
