Export of cars from Britain to India grew almost 11-fold in the past seven years with Land Rover and Jaguar models topping the best selling list, according to UK’s Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders.
On the other hand, imported Indian-built models accounted for 31,535 new car registrations in the UK last year, a growth of 12.6 per cent from 2015.
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.
Growing prosperity in Asian markets in recent years has seen a surge in demand for premium cars, even despite high import duties in many countries, she added.
