Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) plans to introduce its first electric vehicles (EVs) in India in 2027, including the Range Rover Electric and the Range Rover Sport Electric, according to Managing Director and CEO of JLR India Mr. Rajan Amba. The luxury automaker is looking to tap emerging opportunities in the premium EV segment. The company will also introduce the new Jaguar GT next year, with launches spread across different periods. The electric models will initially be imported to test market response. Mr. Rajan Amba noted that the foundational elements of the Indian EV market are getting stronger. This is being aided by improvements in charging infrastructure and resale values, along with incentives for electric cars from the Centre and state governments.
JLR is also strengthening its presence in India through retail expansion, with outlets expected to increase to 40 by the end of 2026, from 25 a year ago. The company’s order banks remain healthy and monthly order intake continues to be strong. Following the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), JLR has witnessed a surge in demand after price reductions on certain models. The price of one vehicle has fallen from around Rs. 4.25 crore (US$ 448,744.67) to Rs. 3.5 crore (US$ 369,554.43). For the Defender brand, JLR expects around 20% growth in orders from current levels due to localisation and aims to pass on the benefits of localisation to customers.
