Land Rover Defender Gets Cheaper by Up to Rs 34 Lakh After Local Assembly

Quick Read - JLR has started assembling the Defender 110 in Pune, bringing its starting price down to Rs 99 lakh. The 3.0-litre petrol and diesel versions are now cheaper by Rs 34 lakh, while the entry-level 2.0-litre petrol gets a Rs 14 lakh price cut.

Land Rover has started local assembly of the Defender 110 at Jaguar Land Rover India's Pune facility, reducing prices by up to Rs 34 lakh. The luxury SUV was previously imported as a completely built unit (CBU) from Slovakia and is now assembled in India using the completely knocked down (CKD) route.

The locally assembled Defender 110 is available in the X-Dynamic HSE trim with three engine options. The price reduction comes alongside additional features being offered as standard, making the entry-level version more accessible.

New Land Rover Defender 110 Prices

The 2.0-litre petrol version was previously priced at Rs 1.13 crore, while the 3.0-litre petrol and diesel versions cost Rs 1.52 crore before the price revision. The older prices included optional equipment that is now standard, so the revised prices also bring more equipment into the package.

More Features Now Standard

The 2.0-litre petrol Defender 110 now gets equipment previously offered as options worth up to Rs 6.5 lakh. This includes adaptive air suspension with adaptive dynamics, adaptive off-road cruise control, three-zone climate control, an air purifier and 14-way electrically adjustable front seats with heating, cooling and memory functions.

The 3.0-litre petrol and diesel versions gain additional standard equipment valued at up to Rs 17 lakh. Highlights include 20-inch wheels, an electronic active differential with torque vectoring, a Meridian sound system, a head-up display and a suede headliner.

Engine Options, Availability and Bookings

The entry-level 2.0-litre turbo-petrol engine produces around 300hp and 400Nm. The 3.0-litre turbo-petrol develops 400hp and 550Nm, while the 3.0-litre diesel delivers 350hp and 700Nm. All three engines are paired with an eight-speed automatic gearbox.

For now, local assembly is limited to the Defender 110 X-Dynamic HSE. The Defender 90, Defender 130 and Defender OCTA continue to be imported as fully built units and do not receive the same local-assembly price revision.

Bookings for the locally assembled Defender 110 are open online and through dealerships, with deliveries scheduled to begin on November 15, 2026.
