Tata Motors-owned Jaguar Land Rover reported a 28% increase in retail sales with 61,047 units in September.

The Jaguar brand sold 17,640 units in September, up 70% from the year-ago month, reflecting the strong launch of the F-PACE as well as continued solid sales of the XE, it added.

Land Rover's September sales were at 43,407 vehicles, up 17% year-on-year, driven by strong sales of Discovery Sport and Range Rover Evoque which retailed at 12,838 units and 11,761 units, respectively.
