Jaguar Land Rover India (JLR) recorded its highest-ever annual sales in financial year twenty twenty-five, delivering six thousand one hundred eighty-three retail units, a forty per cent increase over the previous year. The company aims to double its business in India within the next three to four years by expanding its product portfolio and dealership network.

JLR is undergoing a major transformation, with Jaguar making a full transition to electric vehicles while continuing internal combustion engine models. The company currently operates twenty-five authorised outlets across twenty-one cities and plans to expand to around fifty outlets by two thousand thirty, including new dealerships in Rajkot, Goa, and Nagpur.

Demand for bespoke luxury car models remains strong in India, where JLR’s growth rate has outpaced the domestic luxury segment. The luxury car market, currently about fifty thousand units annually, is expected to double in the next five years due to rising wealth, entrepreneurship, and localisation under the Make in India initiative.

JLR India’s product range includes Range Rover, Range Rover Sport, Range Rover Velar, Range Rover Evoque, Defender, Discovery, and Discovery Sport. Local manufacturing of the Range Rover and Range Rover Sport has received an unprecedented response.
