MG Motor India has revealed its future roadmap for the Indian market under the banner of the newly established entity “JSW MG Motor India.” This rebranding reflects the joint venture (JV) between MG’s parent company, SAIC, and JSW Group, which was finalised in late 2023.
Here are some key takeaways from today’s announcements: –
- Path Jindal, a steering committee member at JSW MG Motor India, said the company plans to launch one new model every three to six months, starting from September 2024.
- The company’s primary focus will be electric and hybrid models, including plug-in hybrid models. No specific details are provided regarding which model will be introduced with hybrid technology.
- These models will be manufactured in India, with a significant emphasis on localisation to achieve competitive pricing.
- The carmaker will also increase its production capacity from its current 1 lakh units to 3 lakh units per annum. Currently, MG Motor has a manufacturing plant in Halol, Gujrat.
- In addition to revealing its future plans, MG has also showcased the MG4 EV hatchback, MG5 EV estate, and a 2-door performance EV called Cyberster. The initial two EVs were also showcased at the 2023 Auto Expo.
- MG has also confirmed that it will introduce a new network of premium outlets to showcase its more upmarket offerings. Although the brand hasn’t confirmed the models that will be available at these new premium showrooms, the Cyberster is a potential choice.
