New Delhi. Jaguar Land Rover (JLR), owned by Tata Motors, is preparing the Range Rover Electric, which will be introduced at the end of this year and its delivery will begin next year. It will first be launched in UK and neighboring markets. JLR will launch Range Rover Electric at the global level later this year, a good thing for Indian buyers that India will join the initial launch markets. So far 62,000 buyers have shown interest at the global level for this car. Of which 400 are from India. The company will electrification of vehicles like Range Rover, Jaguar, Defender, and Discovery.
Testing in last stage
“We are in the final test stage of the Range Rover Electric, and later this year we will be able to tell you about the launch timeline, but whenever it will be launched globally, India will be one of the first markets where it will be made available,” Rage Rover’s global managing director Martin Limpert told FE. “More than 62,000 people have already expressed interest in this car – mostly from America and Europe – and about 400 people have also expressed interest from India.”
Great demand in India
He said that there is a lot of demand for the brand ‘Range Rover’ in India – among actors, businessmen, players and others. “The Indian economy is growing, and the number of high net-beauty individuals is expected to increase from 900,000 to 1.2 million by the end of the decade, so there is a big market for us,” Lympart said. Whether it will be made in India, Limpert said that the company is trying to understand the fine details of India-UK FTA, and then it will decide which products should be brought to India by which route-completely KKD or fully manufactured (CBU).
Production in india
In May last year, JLR India began the local manufacturing of two models-Range Rover and Range Rover Sport-and was able to reduce the prices of these models by 18-20%. “Ever since we launched these locally manufactured cars in India, their sales have increased by 2.5 times,” Limpert said. “The sales of Range Rover have increased by 72%, and the sales of the Range Rover Sport have increased by 42% – compared to FY24 in FY25.”
JLR near 4 brands
JLR now has four different brands-Range Rover, Defender, Discovery, and Jaguar. Range Rover Electric will be its first EV, followed by Jaguar Type 00 (which will be displayed in India on 14 June and possibly launched at the end of next year).
