Why does MG want to cut its stake in the country?

  • MG Motor has been trying to raise funds from its parent company SAIC for the past two years. However, due to border tensions between India and China, the company is facing hurdles as the Indian government modified its regulations on foreign investments to stop Chinese firms from taking over Indian companies without permission. This means that any investment from countries that share a land border with India now needs government approval.
