Tesco Plc said it’s cutting about 1,200 head-office jobs as the U.K. grocery leader adjusts to increasing cost pressures.

About a quarter of workers will lose their positions at its British base in Welwyn Garden City, England, and at offices in Bengaluru, India, the supermarket operator said Wednesday.
