In India, the 2010-11 fiscal year saw an immense rise in the total sales of Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles as compared to the 2009-2010 fiscal year. The sales in 2010-2011 were 891 units whereas the sales were 242 units in the year prior to that. Currently, the British company assembles Land Rover’s Freelander at the Tata Motors’ plant in India which is located in Pune. In order to meet the demand in India, Jaguar Land Rover is also planning to start an engine manufacturing facility in the country. However, the investments on this planned facility would be lesser than the current investment of 355 million pounds being invested in an engine plant in UK.
