jaguar Land Rover (JLR) has recently announced a significant price revision for its popular Defender series in India, following the implementation of the GST 2.0 reforms. The new tax structure, which came into effect on 22nd September 2025, has reduced the overall tax burden on luxury and premium vehicles, prompting JLR to pass the benefits on to its customers.
The Defender, known for its rugged off-road capabilities combined with premium comfort, has been a favorite among adventure seekers and SUV enthusiasts. However, its higher price point limited its accessibility to a niche audience. With the revised GST rates, JLR has now made the Defender lineup more competitive and attractive in the Indian luxury SUV market.
