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.

Don't peg your expectations from market too high; look for growth stories: Shreyas Devalkar
Shreyas Devalkar, Head-Equity, Axis MF, says the market currently favors established narratives, making them costly. Opportunities arise in sectors experiencing growth, such as manufacturing and import substitution. The government's Make in India initiative is boosting domestic production. Tourism and retail are also performing well. Private sector banks and NBFCs show potential for revival with lower interest rates. ADVERTISEMENT What is your take on the Indian markets because the Street is a bit divided? Some believe that a lot of these positives are already factored in and the valuations are expensive. But some also have the view that a lot of these positives are still to be factored in with respect to RBI rate cut, the tax cut, and India-US trade as well wherein India is expected to be in a sweet spot. Where is the market headed from these levels? Shreyas Devalkar: As far as the market is concerned, wherever there is an established story, it is always expensive. There are pockets where the stories are really established. You spoke of three aspects, the US tariff on India, the credit and the interest rate part and earnings. When it comes to the US tariff part, we have to see how it evolves, especially as it is not only about India versus US, but also India versus China, and other competing countries where they also have a comparative advantage. In such a situation, we need to wait and watch not only the tariff on India, but also on all these countries so that the end game is established. Aditya Khemka on US tariff threat over pharma and what to bet on there The way it looks, as of now, the market has tried to factor in certain gains in some aspects. So when it comes to established stories like electronics, manufacturing, services, there is a shift from China to India. The second part is the Make in India theme where we are trying to build in India and trying to reduce import dependence. It can be in solar, and is actually in multiple parts and sub-parts of even consumer durables. The government has taken multiple steps in that. Another part that is growing very well is manufacturing. Such stories are emerging very nicely and there the valuations definitely remain high. So, these stories are in capital goods, power sector, capex, and EMS, and here we are driving import substitution. On the other hand, in consumption, they are in tourism, travel and retail. Some of the retail stories are doing extremely well. These are the segments which continue to do well and where the valuations are high. We need to bear with it. As long as the growth delivery remains, the valuation may sustain. There are pockets where valuations are not that high and there is expectation of revival and that is one of the aspects which you highlighted on the credit and the lower interest rate. There, the private sector banks' valuation has not got re-rated compared to pre-Covid days. In some cases, there is a de-rating also. Overall, NBFC valuation is broadly similar to pre-Covid days' barring a few cases here and there because of the slowdown in credit growth as well as deposit growth. Obviously these are the reasons why it has happened. Now, with lower interest rates and better transmission, one may see some revival there. ADVERTISEMENT But would you be comfortable putting fresh money to work at this level right now? Shreyas Devalkar: As a long only investor, we end up investing. So, even if you do not end up putting in fresh money, whatever you own is as of yesterday's price. That is the way we look at it. So, from the point of view of the investors, the market has gone up substantially. Over a longer period of time, the market has given returns closer to nominal GDP growth and one should set right expectations from the returns from the equity market rather than expecting too high returns which has been the case in '22, '23 and '24 because there is a substantial re-rating in the stories. So, from that re-rating, a very high return is difficult to expect and on the other hand there are certain segments where we need to see some revival in growth to get a good return. Otherwise, the right return expectation is important here. ADVERTISEMENT In your latest fact sheet, you have mentioned that while our overall macros look good, we are not completely out of the woods yet. In light of the recent CPI numbers which have been much better than what the Street was expecting, overall macros in terms of liquidity are looking good. Where are you still expecting to see some more momentum in order to say that a broad-based recovery in macros is seen? Shreyas Devalkar: As far as overall growth for the economy is concerned, if you take the last two decades, it was on the back of three things. One was monetary policy and that is in favour. As of now, we are seeing interest rates coming down. We are seeing that getting transmitted also by various banks and NBFC. So, its impact will be seen. ADVERTISEMENT The other aspect has been seen at multiple points in time in multiple countries – fiscal expansion. Now, there is fiscal consolidation. So not only India, most other countries are trying to do it. But fiscal consolidation has a certain impact on growth. More importantly, the third aspect is the export growth because for a large part of listed companies, especially in largecaps, there is an element of export directly or indirectly and that is where whenever the global economy is doing very well, there is a positive impact on the Indian economy. So, out of these three factors of growth, monetary policy is definitely in favour, interest rates because of the inflation coming down will also drive better growth for us. But because of the fiscal as well as the global growth not being there, the overall recovery in growth may not be as expected. So one should look at it in a more pragmatic manner as far as growth is concerned. Help us understand what sort of portfolio changes have you made of late because in your fact sheet, I believe you have reduced your weightage in autos while adding a bit more into consumers. How do you manage this positioning right now? Also, any sectors you will closely watch for increasing weightage? Shreyas Devalkar: Wherever there is growth and wherever there is earnings cut, these are the two aspects one ends up trying to predict. So, both auto and auto ancillaries have seen earnings cut both because of the global and local environment. That is where over five-six months, we have reduced our exposure. ADVERTISEMENT At the same time, despite high valuations, some of the capital goods companies, especially in the power space, have done better on the growth front. So, it is not broad-based capex as such, but definitely there are certain segments of that, segments of electronic manufacturing, import substitution, and all these in the overall capital goods space. There are multiple companies here and in that context, we have increased some exposure to that segment. As far as consumption is concerned, exposure to some retail companies was increased over the last five-six months as it is reflected in the fact sheet.

Mahindra XUV700 zooms past 3 lakh sales milestone
The XUV700 is one of the most successful products that Mahindra has launched in India. Check Offers Mahindra and Mahindra has announced that the XUV700 has clocked 3 lakh sales in the Indian market. The SUV was first launched in India back in 2021, and it still garners a strong demand, which is quite impressive as the brand has not yet launched any sort of facelift for it. Back in March, the brand crossed the 2.5 lakh sales mark and announced a few offers, but that has not happened this time. Mahindra XUV700 facelift under works Mahindra's popular XUV700 is getting its first facelift, and spy shots show prototypes testing on India's roads for the first time. The revamped SUV, expected in early 2026, focuses on style updates and enhanced features, with no major mechanical changes anticipated. Exterior Overhaul The facelifted XUV700 receives a redesigned front end, including new circular LED headlights paired with distinctive LED daytime running lights. The grille has been reimagined with slanted vertical slats, and the front bumper gets refreshed styling. While the current camo doesn't fully reveal rear styling, it's likely to include subtle bumper refinements and a sleek LED light bar. Camouflaged wheels hide any changes there, though updates in alloy design are probable. As seen above, the XUV700 will boast a new front fascia. Interior & Tech Upgrades Inside, the facelift is expected to bring in a triple-screen layout—comprising a driver display, central infotainment, and passenger touchscreen—borrowed from Mahindra's electric XEV 9e. Enhanced tech features are also likely to include a digital key, an auto-parking system and an upgraded Harman Kardon sound system with Dolby Atmos, among others. Also Read : Next-Gen Mahindra Bolero Neo spotted testing, India launch expected soon Mechanically, the facelifted XUV700 will retain its current engines: the 2.0 L turbo-petrol (≈197 bhp, 380 Nm) and 2.2 L diesel (182 bhp, 420–450 Nm depending on gearbox). Transmission options will remain a 6‑speed manual or torque-converter automatic. AWD configurations are likely to continue, and although rumours suggest a plug-in hybrid may be on the horizon, it's probably not part of this update Testing mules surfaced in June 2025, hinting at a debut later this year or in early 2026. Some suggest Mahindra might even rebrand the model as "XUV7XO" upon launch. However, given the cosmetic-only scope of this update, substantial increases in price aren't expected—more a mid-cycle revamp than a full redesign.

Govt nominees to quiz Hindustan Zinc management on Vedanta dealings at upcoming board meeting
Government nominees on the Hindustan Zinc Ltd (HZL) board will likely quiz the management on the company's dealings with its promoter Vedanta Ltd and other related parties at the next board meeting on July 17, people aware of the development said. The government had a 27.92 per cent stake in HZL while Anil Agarwal-controlled Vedanta Ltd held 61.84 per cent as of June 30. "The idea (behind asking fresh questions to the HZL management) is not to doubt the company's financial position or cast aspersions but to be reassured of its corporate governance practices and other financial and operational aspects," one of the persons cited above told ET. The move comes in the aftermath of short-seller Viceroy Research accusing Vedanta's parent entity Vedanta Resources this month of being a "parasite" running a "ponzi scheme" that has "pushed the entire group to the brink of insolvency." Vedanta has called the claims a "false propaganda" based on information already available in the public domain and asserted that "the authors have tried to sensationalise the context to profiteer from market reaction." The US-based short-seller has also questioned HZL's payment of about ₹1,560 crore in "brand and strategic services" fees to Vedanta, adding that this was without commercial justification. In response to ET's queries, an HZL spokesperson said "'Vedanta' is a prominent global brand in the natural resources sector and the brand is a registered intellectual property of Vedanta Resources. Vedanta Ltd, HZL and other group companies use the brand under a brand license/sub-license agreement and pay a board-approved brand and strategic services fee for its usage." "This structure reflects a standard intercompany licensing model used globally by diversified groups and is fully compliant with Indian accounting, tax and governance regulations, and follows internationally accepted practices," the spokesperson added. Asked if the company intends to explain its stance on the Viceroy Research report to the government nominees in the July 17 board meeting, the spokesperson said as a policy, the company "does not disclose the agenda or discussion points of upcoming board meetings." "Outcomes of such meetings, as required, will be communicated through appropriate channels post conclusion." Another person said nominees of minority shareholders asking questions at a company's board meeting on emerging issues is a legitimate practice and "there is no reason why the government wouldn't do that." The HZL board has three government nominated directors.
