British luxury carmaker Jaguar Land Rover reported a 7 per cent rise in June sales as it sold more Jaguar cars in China, the company's fastest growing market.
JLR, owned by India's biggest carmaker by revenue Tata Motors LtdBSE 2.31 %, said Jaguar sales rose 34 per cent during the month to 6,574 cars, with sales in China more than doubling.
Sales of Land Rover sports utility vehicles grew 2 per cent in June to 27,165 cars. The growing demand for luxury cars in China and other emerging markets has helped JLR buck the trend of plant shutdowns and falling production at many European automakers.
JLR's China chief said in April that the company aims to increase its sales in the country by 20 per cent to 30 per cent this year.
The company said total sales in the first half of 2013 rose 14 per cent to 210,190 cars.
Tata MotorsBSE 2.31 % relies on JLR for the bulk of its profits, with the Britain-based company accounting for more than three-quarters of the Indian carmaker' s revenue.
