Jaguar Land Rover will bring the Range Rover Electric and Range Rover Sport Electric to India in 2027, marking its first EVs here, which matters because
Range Rover buyers here will get an electric option for the first time. Price, battery size and range for India are expected to be revealed closer to launch, and the cars will initially be imported. Here is what JLR India has said, what the global Range Rover Electric offers, how import duties could affect price, and what Indian buyers should check before booking one of the first electric Range Rovers. According to PTI, JLR India Managing Director and CEO Rajan Amba said the company plans to introduce its first electric vehicles in India in 2027, including the Range Rover Electric and Range Rover Sport Electric, and to launch the new Jaguar GT next year. JLR does not currently offer an EV in India, but it believes the time is right after stronger EV adoption in premium and more accessible segments over the past year. PTI reports that JLR will import its EVs initially to test customer response, and that Amba said it is too early to estimate demand because this is the company’s first time in the segment.
What the Global Range Rover Electric Offers
The Range Rover Electric was unveiled globally on September 2, 2026, and is built in Solihull in the UK. Apart from the powertrain, the changes over the existing Range Rover are small: a smoother front grille, EV-only wheel designs and a reworked underbody. The displays have EV-specific graphics, AI-assisted range prediction and over-the-air updates for the battery. Battery size, range and charging figures for India have not been given.Price Expectations
Import duties push up the price of imported cars, so the Indian price is likely to be well above the global figure and above the existing Range Rover variants. JLR has not given any figure, so treat any price you see before launch as an estimate.
What to Check Before Booking
- Ask about home charger installation and how many public DC chargers are near you, since a large battery works best with fast charging.
- Check the service network. JLR is expanding its retail network, but EV servicing may not be in every city at first.
- Ask for the warranty terms, including battery warranty, in writing.
- Confirm the delivery timeline, since imported cars depend on shipping and homologation.
- Compare the final on-road price with other luxury electric SUVs sold in India.
