Where a Land Rover is built now shapes what it costs in India. The Range Rover, Range Rover Sport and Defender 110 are assembled at Jaguar Land Rover’s plant in Pune, SV models arrive from the UK at lower duty under the India-UK trade agreement, and the Defender and Discovery still come from Slovakia at full duty. You can compare them side by side at Shiva Motocorp in Noida.
Assembled in Pune.
Range Rover: the long-wheelbase 3.0-litre diesel HSE and 3.0-litre petrol Autobiography, since May 2024. Prices fell by up to ₹56 lakh when local assembly began.
Range Rover Sport: the 3.0-litre diesel and petrol Dynamic SE, with deliveries from August 2024. The price fell by ₹29 lakh.
Defender 110: the X-Dynamic HSE, since October 2026. It now starts at ₹99 lakh ex-showroom, up to ₹34 lakh less than before.
Velar, Evoque and Discovery Sport: also assembled in India.
Imported from the UK, at lower duty.
The India-UK free trade agreement took effect on 15 July 2026. In its first year, import duty on UK-built cars with petrol engines above 3,000cc or diesel engines above 2,500cc is 30% within a quota of 10,000 cars, against as much as 110% before. Smaller engines pay 50% within their own quotas, and duty on all these categories falls to 10% by the fifth year.
Jaguar Land Rover cut the prices of its UK-built SV models ahead of the agreement: the Range Rover SV from ₹4.25 crore to ₹3.50 crore, and the Range Rover Sport SV from ₹2.75 crore to ₹2.35 crore. Short-wheelbase Range Rovers and V8 versions are also imported.
Imported from Slovakia, at full duty.
The Defender and Discovery are built at Jaguar Land Rover’s plant in Nitra, Slovakia, so the UK agreement does not cover them. That includes the Defender 90, the Defender 130, the Defender Octa and the versions of the Defender 110 that are not assembled in Pune. Autocar India notes that a future India-EU trade agreement could lower their prices.
What it means if you are buying.
Check the exact version: locally assembled and imported versions of the same model can differ a lot in price.
Compare on-road prices: road tax and insurance are charged on the price, so the gap widens on the road.
Ask for the current list: Land Rover prices have changed several times since 2024.
