There is good news for Range Rover buyers. Jaguar Land Rover will start production of its Range Rover and Range Rover Sport in India. For the first time in their 54-year long history, these iconic models will be produced outside Britain.
Jaguar Land Rover is owned by Tata Motors. Till now, both these models are produced only at Jaguar Land Rover’s Solihull plant in Britain and from there they are exported to about 121 markets globally including India. With local production, the price of both models is set to come down by 18-22 percent. That is, buying a Range Rover will be cheaper. This will make it easier for those who dream of a Range Rover to fulfill their dream.
Tata Group Chairman N. Chandrasekaran praised Tata Sons Honorary Chairman Ratan Tata for bringing the JLR brand to the Tata family 15 years ago. He said that Range Rover will be manufactured right here in India, it is a great feeling. This is a very special moment and I feel proud of it. He said that with this move, the company will see an increase in sales in the country in future. Chandrasekaran said, “There will be more sales, I am confident that the journey ahead will be great.”
He said that its manufacturing here indicates how much confidence the company has in this market. Retail sales in India increased by 81 percent JLR India Managing Director Rajan Amba told PTI-Bhasha that local production is a big step for the company to make both the models accessible to a wider section of customers in the country.
Amba said, “For the first time in the company’s history, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport will now be produced in India. This is a big announcement for us as these are our flagship vehicles and in their 54-year history, they have been produced only in Solihull.” JLR India’s retail sales in India in the last financial year 2023-24 stood at 4,436 units, up 81 per cent.
