The price drop makes the ZS EV massively more affordable, undercutting the Tata Curvv EV, Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, and even the MG Windsor EV Pro (fixed battery option). The move should help the ZS EV bag more numbers, especially having been cannibalised by its sibling in the last few months. The MG Windsor EV has been a massive hit for the automaker and is currently the bestselling electric vehicle in India. The model is averaging about 3,450 units in the last six months. In contrast, the ZS EV averaged about 600 units during the same period.
Speaking about the price drop, Rakesh Sen, Head of Sales - JSW MG Motor India, said, 'I would like to thank all our customers and other related stakeholders who have helped us chart a growth story in the dynamic Indian automobile market for the last six years. The foundation of the company is based on innovation, and the ZS EV stands as a true testament of what the MG brand was truly capable of back in 2020. It was a car that redefined traditional mobility with the inclusion of tech-driven innovations in it. To commemorate our sixth anniversary in India, we have made the MG ZS EV even more accessible for customers looking to upgrade to a stylish electric SUV. Our other two EVs are already at an accessible price point, and with this special pricing, the ZS EV will also attract customers seeking a premium ride. We remain confident that with an attractive overall packaging and pricing, the MG ZS EV will surely captivate Indian car buyers.'
The MG ZS EV was the brand's second offering in India. The model comes with a 50.3 kWh battery pack, which offers a range of 461 km on a single charge. The SUV is powered by a single electric motor that develops 174 bhp and 280 Nm of peak torque. The model comes with a host of features, including a panoramic sunroof, Level 2 ADAS, a digital key, a 360-degree camera, a 10.1-inch touchscreen, wireless charging, a 7-inch digital console and more. The model also comes with six airbags, ABS with EBD, ESC, Hill Descent Control and more.

'Starlink isn't going to bring millions and millions of customers into the fold'

The Indian telecom sector is 'evolving' despite several challenges it is facing. It is in the middle of a transition from 4G to 5G, satellite communication is becoming a reality, and competition is getting more broad-based. Rakesh Kumar caught up with Minister of State for Communications Pemmasani Chandrasekhar to get an overall view of the sector. An excerpt: BSNL has been profitable for the last two consecutive quarters. How did you make that possible? There is a lot of work going on inside BSNL. We have installed close to 100,000 4G towers in the last 12 months, and around 70,000 of them are active now. All these towers are performing better. So, obviously, we are increasing the customer base. There is a component of that. There is also a component of spending control, and overall efficiency is being improved at BSNL. All these factors have culminated in profitability, but the profit is around Rs 250 crores. That's not our target; it's actually just a tipping point. If the 4G rollout goes according to our plan, ideally, we should be generating a lot more revenue and expanding our customer base. When are you going to stop BSNL subscriber churn? We are gaining subscribers every month. One major limitation is that BSNL only has 100,000 4G towers. If you look at Reliance and Airtel, they have over 500,000–600,000 towers. After completing installation of 100,000 4G towers, we are going to request approval from the Cabinet for another 100,000 towers. We are focusing on increasing cash flow. Once we boost the cash flow, we will inherently have the opportunity to install more 4G and 5G equipment. We are also monetizing BSNL's assets, which will provide additional funding. The government has already given licenses to Starlink and two other satellite players. When will the services start? Granting licenses is our responsibility. The rest is up to Starlink and when they decide to start. I am pretty sure they want to begin as quickly as possible, especially since their basic infrastructure has already been set up. However, it is important to remember that Starlink isn't going to bring millions and millions of customers into the fold. It will play a minor role compared to the rest of the telecom infrastructure. That's because it is expensive, and there will be speed issues. Satellite communication is important as a backup and for some rural areas, where entrepreneurs and others who need a stable and decent connection could benefit. In those areas—like maritime zones and other remote regions—satellite could be very helpful, but it's more of a complementary solution in the overall telecom ecosystem. There were complaints from telcos that satellite services will eat into their business in India. It won't be like that. It will be a bit more expensive compared to terrestrial networks. The speed of satellite internet is much slower than that of terrestrial networks. Besides, satellite internet is not intended for mobile services; it's only for internet service, at least for now. Satellite communication will function more as a backup rather than a primary service. So last year, all the telcos increased their tariffs. Are we expecting more increases this year? If you look at the overall cost, we are much, much cheaper compared to the rest of the world. Obviously, the companies have invested heavily in 5G, and now all these companies are publicly listed, so they have their own concerns regarding growth. But at the same time, if there is effective competition—whether it's Vodafone Idea or BSNL—pricing will naturally come back to a more normal level. The key here is to ensure at least three or four highly effective players remain in the market. There are questions about the quality of services provided by telcos in the country. We are taking a closer look at the quality of service in the country now. We used to monitor and report on a quarterly basis, but now we've changed it to monthly reports. Previously, we monitored at the cell tower (BTS) level. Now, each BTS has 12 cells, so we are monitoring at the cellular level. The intensity and depth of this quality of service monitoring have been revamped.

Rare earth magnet crisis may be too good to waste for India's EV ambitions

China's near monopoly on rare earths has rattled Indian automakers, triggering a diplomatic push and renewed urgency for local processing capacity Shine Jacob Archis Mohan Listen to This Article When Beijing announced in April that it would tighten its grip on exports of rare earth-related items, the reverberations were swift — and worldwide. The move, enforced by China's Ministry of Commerce and the General Administration of Customs, has sent tremors through global automobile industry, including India's electric vehicle (EV) sector. At the G7 Summit that opened on Sunday in Canada, rare earth supplies are high on the agenda. Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, laying out the priorities for his country's G7 presidency, spoke of 'fortifying critical mineral supply chains' as one of three core missions to shore up economic
