JLR India announced a 36% year-over-year (YoY) growth in retail sales for the first half of fiscal year 2025 (H1 FY25), selling 3,214 units, with Q2 FY25 sales up 41% following a 31% increase in Q1 FY25.
This result was due to improved supplies and sustained demand for the iconic Range Rover and Defender models, particularly with the local manufacture of the entire Range Rover portfolio.
Rajan Amba, Managing Director, JLR India said, “FY25 has been a high point for us so far. Our strategic decision to locally manufacture Range Rover and Range Rover Sport has yielded impressive results, with orders surging by 60%. The Defender’s remarkable 75% growth in H1 FY25 is a testament to its ever-increasing popularity. Our Q2 standalone growth of 41% and highest-ever H1 retail numbers reflect this momentum. Last month also witnessed the successful launch of the first-ever India-inspired Bespoke SV – the Ranthambore Edition, with all 12 limited editions pre-booked. As we enter the festive season, we are confident in maintaining this momentum through the second half of the year, driven by our robust product portfolio and customer-centric approach.”
Range Rover had earlier introduced a new special edition model, the Range Rover SV Ranthambore, priced at Rs 4.98 crore (ex-showroom). Built on the long wheelbase version available in India, the Ranthambore edition is crafted by the brand’s bespoke SV division. This is the first limited edition Range Rover created exclusively for the Indian market, with only 12 units to be produced. As part of the launch, JLR will donate a portion of the proceeds from each sale to the Wildlife Conservation Trust of India, aiding tiger and wildlife conservation efforts.
