Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover will consider assembling Jaguars in India in the next three-five years, a top executive said.
“We are looking at it, but volumes in India are very small now. As we go forward, we will surely consider this,” Jaguar global brand director Adrian Hallmark told Press Trust of India (PTI).

Kit assembly of Land Rover’s Freelander began at Tata Motors’ Pune plant in India last May.
When asked for a timeline for Jaguar assembly, Hallmark said: “We have not planned anything right now, but in the next 3-5 years, we can imagine this happening in India.”
During the 2010-11 fiscal year, combined JLR sales in India rose to 891 units from 242 the previous year.
JLR is planning an engine factory in India to meet demand, PTI noted.
