Sales of the Defender, which was the company’s top-selling model during Q1, and the Range Rover Evoque soared over 50 percent YoY. JLR said the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender together account for 75 percent of its total order book.
“Our performance is tracking favourably as per our expectations. Alongside our robust sales, our order bank also grew by 10 percent compared to the beginning of the fiscal year, showing continuous growth in demand while we continue to enhance our supplies into the market,” said Rajan Amba, managing director of JLR India.
He added that the locally manufactured Range Rover and Range Rover Sport have received an extraordinary response from Indian buyers. “The market is responding well to our exciting product line-up, and we are committed to our discerning clientele as we continue to create the world’s most desirable luxury vehicles.”
