JLR India has had a standout year, clocking its best-ever annual sales since entering the Indian market 17 years ago. In FY25, the luxury carmaker sold 6,183 vehicles—a solid 40% jump from the previous year. Wholesale numbers also saw a strong 39% rise, hitting 6,266 units.

The real highlight came in the fourth quarter, where JLR posted its highest-ever quarterly figures. Retail sales hit 1,793 units, and wholesale sales reached 1,710 units—more than double the numbers from the same period last year.

A big part of this growth came from the strong demand for JLR’s lineup, especially the Defender, which became the brand’s top seller with a 90% sales boost. The locally assembled Range Rover and Range Rover Sport also did well, growing by 72% and 42%, respectively.

Mr Rajan Amba, Managing Director, JLR India, said, “We are incredibly proud to announce our all-time best performance in FY25. JLR India has outpaced the luxury car industry with retail and wholesale growth of around 40% in the current year on the back of 81% year-on-year growth in FY24. This success is a testimony to our strong brands, a focus on ‘customer love’ and a product portfolio with unparalleled design, unmatched capability and impeccable luxury. Our locally manufactured Range Rover and Range Rover Sport have been a key driver of this growth, while Defender continues to sustain its leadership position in its category.”
