JLR to build Indian engine plant

The new Indian engine plant, tipped to be located near Pune where Tata’s has existing facilities, and where JLR recently announced a Land Rover assembly operation, will make engines for four-cylinder models. The engines will be modular in design and up to 2.0 litres in capacity, the sources say.


Quick, get your 2.2 ordered Rolling with laughter

JLR are working on an English Engine Plant - It might pay you to look on the proper news sites...good luck to them

i did find this for you in the public domain:

And with three-quarters of all sales outside the UK, it's also benefiting from the relative weakness of sterling.

Now, far from closing a factory, JLR is thought to be considering building a new engine plant here.


Good on them Mike

My concern was that this is a "mirror of the UK site" and the engines are "up to 2.0" so the site, UK or otherwise is irrelevant. I love LRs and if anything helps the company then good on it - they can build 2wd Frelanders and the like all day if the core product remains, well, core product.

I have had LRs for years and they get more unreliable as time goes by (in my experience) but I am still not able to bring myself to spend my cash anywhere else.

I say 'good on em' too - they are a great British company employing lots of Brits and bringing money to our economy I just hope they don't expect 2.0 to power the Defender.
