Tata Motors’ wholly-owned subsidiary, JLR India, has registered its highest-ever half-yearly retail sales in the country in the first six months (H1) of the fiscal year ending March (FY25). The luxury carmaker sold a record 3,214 units between April and September, a 36 percent growth over the year-ago period.
- JLR saw a 41 percent growth in Q2
- Defender sales jumped 75 percent in H1
JLR India’s sales surged 41 percent year-on-year (YoY) in the second quarter (Q2) and 31 percent in Q1. JLR says that the Range Rover and Defender were the highest-selling models in its portfolio, with the Defender registering a 75 percent growth in H1.
The brand claims that local manufacturing of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport has increased orders by around 60 percent. JLR also recently launched the limited-run Range Rover SV Ranthambore Edition exclusively in India. Priced at Rs 4.98 crore, the Ranthambore Edition is customised by the brand’s bespoke SV division and is limited to just 12 units.
Meanwhile, Tata Motors recently started the construction of its new Rs 9,000 crore plant in Tamil Nadu, which will be responsible for the production of EVs based on the Electrified Modular Architecture (EMA) platform for both Jaguar Land Rover and Tata Motors. This means that upcoming products such as the Range Rover EV and Range Rover Sport EV could also be made in India for the world.
