Tata’s is not India’s largest vehicle manufacturer but the largest Indian owned auto company.

Top 3 Manufacturer’s in India are
1) Maruti Suzuki
2) Hyundai
3) Tata Motors

The Indian prices of the Land Rovers and Jaguars are a lot higher due to the fact that they are brought in as Completely Built Up (CBU’s) units and hence are heavily taxed. Think about 95% of the cars value.

Jaguar and Land Rover are really great cars and well known all over the world. That’s why it’s not surprising many countries would love to have one in their own country. Well, India is home for many car fanatics, and I’m sure they’d love to drive Jag and Land Rover over there, not to mention they can afford to buy one or two.

“Indians seem to love British things.”

Um, i think you’d be suprissed. Its common fact that “British seem to love Indians things” ie Rubies, Gold, THERE NATIONAL DISH IS CURRY, Spice (Pepper, Saffron and Cardamom), Silk and textiles, Over 60% of todays medicine can be traced back to the aruvydic texts etc etc

Taking it a bit far don’t you think?

I hope this move works well for JLR since sails are way down. I’m surprised that they didn’t sell them there already; Indians seem to love Brtish things.

Did I read that right??

“..starting at a price tag of 6.3 million rupees (US$130,977) and going up to 9 million rupees (US$187,500).

Land Rover will initially be launching three vehicles with a similar price range.”

Thats some expensive Land Rovers!!

I suppose its because the market is small over there, and the divide between poverty and wealth is quite large, meaning they can capitalise on anything that falls into that luxury category.

Godd on Tata, I hope they do well and continue to sell square Landrovers to squares.
