Jaguar Land Rover Drops Its Compact SUV Plan For India
Jaguar Land Rover has dropped the plan to manufacture the new compact in India and wants o focus on the American and European market.
Jaguar Land Rover had planned to make India as the company's manufacturing and exporting hub. But JLR has dropped this plan to focus on the American and European markets.
JLR had planned to set up a manufacturing facility at Pune near its parent company Tata's manufacturing facility. The plant was supposed to manufacture around 1 lakh units per year including the new compact SUV.
But the plan of the new compact SUV has been ditched. Currently, India is becoming a hub for exporting vehicles as the cost of manufacturing is low compared to other countries.
But now JLR wants to focus on the American and European markets where the company generates more sales compared to the Indian market.
So now JLR plans to set up its manufacturing plant in the US to avoid the extra import duty levied by the newly elected US President Donald Trump.
Currently,
JLR
assembles
its
vehicles
received
from
the
imported
kits
in
Pune.
Whereas
the
company
sold
54,800
units
between
April
and
December
2016.
So,
it
makes
sense
for
JLR
to
focus
on
the
American
and
US
market.
