MG Motor India leans on EVs, 70% of current revenue from new‑energy vehicles
MG Motor India is doubling down on its electric vehicle strategy. Over 70% of its revenue and sales now come from new‑energy vehicles, making EVs the backbone of its business, said Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director, JSW MG Motor India Ltd. 'This is not incremental, it's transformational for us,' he added, highlighting the central role of EVs in MG's future. Currently, MG India offers four electric models: the MG ZS EV , Comet EV , Windsor EV and the Windsor Pro EV . The company sold 30,162 EVs during FY 2025, growing nearly 158% year‑on‑year, and capturing a 28% share of India's electric vehicle market, up from 13% the previous year In June 2025 alone, MG delivered 3,945 EVs, commanding a 30% share of that month's EV sales and contributing to a combined 53% share (with Mahindra) of India's EV market. The recent launch of the Windsor EV marketed as India's first intelligent CUV with Battery‑as‑a‑Service (BaaS) pricing has fueled this surge crossing the 20,000‑unit sales milestone within six months of launch, making it the fastest‑moving EV in MG's history . Building on that success, MG has now introduced the Cyberster , its electric sports roadster for the Indian market priced at ₹72.49 lakh (ex‑showroom) for early bookings and ₹74.99 lakh for regular customers. The Cyberster will be retailed through MG's luxury sub‑brand MG Select, joining the MG M9 MPV, which launched at ₹69.9 lakh ex‑showroom. Mehrotra described Cyberster as a defining model for MG's electrified ambitions. 'This isn't just our fastest car, it's emblematic of how EVs are anchoring our brand's evolution into premium mobility in India.' With EVs now contributing more than two‑thirds of its volumes and new premium launches on the way, MG is clearly positioning itself not merely as an EV maker, but as an aspirational electric‐mobility brand in India.
