India is set to become the first country since 1970 to manufacture completely knocked down (CKD) units of the "flagship" Range Rover and Range Rover Sport cars outside Solihull in the United Kingdom.
The CKD units imported from the UK and assembled in India would reduce prices by 18-22 per cent, said senior executives of Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover (JLR) India.
Deliveries of the locally manufactured Range Rover started on Friday, while that of Range Rover Sport will begin on August 16. JLR's facility in Pune already makes Range Rover Velar, Evoque, Jaguar F-PACE, and Discovery Sport.
The move to make two more cars domestically comes after the company's retail sales in India jumped 81 per cent - its best since its launch here in 2009 to 4,436 units in FY24.
