In 2014, the company sold 2,857 vehicles in the country, ET Auto.com reported citing PTI.

Rohit Suri, JLR India president, said: “We have received tremendous response to Discovery Sport. Even before the official launch and price announcement, we have got 300 bookings [orders] for the hatchback. And this is a good number. If we maintain this sales pace, I am hopeful of our volume growing three-four times from the current numbers.

“Our current market share is only 9% in the overall luxury category but, if we exclude the hatchback space, which constitutes more than 45% of the market, then our market share should be close to 20%. I hope to fill this vacuum with the Discovery Sport,” Suri added.
