Indians are exporting cars from UK like never before and guess which carmaker tops the list

UK’s car exports to India have grown exponentially. As per the latest data provided by UK’s Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, UK’s export of cars to India grew almost 11-fold in the past seven years.

Meanwhile, Tata Motors-owned JLR's Land Rover and Jaguar models topped the best selling list.

On the other hand, Indian-built models accounted for 31,535 new car registrations in the UK last year, a growth of 12.6 per cent from 2015.

"In 2016, Indian motorists bought 3,372 British-built cars, up from 309 in 2009," said the automotive industry body Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT).

Last year, demand rose 15.8 per cent compared with 2015, lifting India from 10th to 8th place in the UK's Asia export markets, it added.

SMMT said the top five British bestsellers in India are Discovery Sport, Range Rover Evoque, Jaguar XF, Jaguar XE and the Jaguar F-Pace.
