Jaguar Land Rover India plans to initiate ten product-related actions in the current fiscal, including new generation model launches and introduction of updated versions, in order to consolidate its position in the domestic luxury vehicle segment, according to a top company executive.
The automaker, which is owned by the Tata Group, recently introduced its fully electric SUV I-PACE in the domestic market.
It is looking to further fortify position in the market with ten strong product actions planned in FY 2021-22, including new generation products, facelifts, new body styles, plug-in-hybrids and new power-trains.
Overall, the company believes that there is a huge headroom for growth in the luxury car segment in India.
In line with the growth in the economy, it expects the luxury car market to witness a strong double digit growth. On I-Pace launch, he said that with the model the company wants to focus on providing customers with a seamless and worry-free EV ownership experience, while watching developments in the EV market very closely, including customers’ likes and dislikes.
