MUMBAI, INDIA | 29th JULY 2026 | JLR India delivered its strongest first-quarter retail sales performance on record, with 1,665 units retailed in Q1 FY27, up 11% year-on-year (YoY). Wholesales for the quarter stood at 1,694 units, up 4% YoY.
Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender models accounted for over 85% of total retail sales in Q1 FY27, highlighting their strength in the India luxury SUV segment. Defender also remained the company’s top selling model, illustrating continued appetite for its ‘tough luxury’ proposition in India.
During the quarter, JLR India introduced revised pricing for Range Rover SV and Range Rover Sport SV under the India-UK Free Trade Agreement (FTA), with benefits up to ₹ 75 lakhs depending on the model. The announcement has driven an uptick in client interest, with a notable rise in SV enquiries and growing demand for Bespoke commissions across both models.
Mr. Rajan Amba, Managing Director, JLR India, said: “We have started FY27 strongly with our best-ever Q1 retail performance. Demand continues to grow for Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender, and we are seeing interest for SV and Bespoke increase following the India-UK FTA.
We welcome the FTA as a key moment for luxury automotive in India. It allows us to bring more of our curated SV products, exclusive Range Rover special editions, and bespoke creations to our consumers, tailored to their aspirations.
With a strong product pipeline ahead, we are well-placed to sustain this momentum in FY27.”
