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.

Tesla Vs BYD: India new battleground! China's this person to crush Elon Musk's dream? he has been an expert in…
China's BYD (Build Your Dreams) has overtaken Tesla in global electric vehicle (EV) sales, but its presence in India is still limited. Now, with Tesla entering the Indian market, the country has become the latest battle ground for the rivalry between Elon Musk and BYD's founder Wang Chuanfu. According to some media reports China's BYD can outpace Musk on every front. Elon Musk's Tesla VS BYD In recent months, BYD has surpassed Tesla in global EV sales, delivering 380,000 cars worldwide, while selling just 500 units in India last month barely 0.1% of its global sales. Despite its relatively low profile in India, BYD's technology is considered highly advanced internationally. In China, its new models can charge in just 5 minutes and offer a range of over 500 kilometers, which is nearly 50 times faster than popular EVs like the MG ZS EV, according to investor Rahul Mathur. Journey Of BYD Wang Chuanfu, the founder and chairman of BYD, is known for his tireless work ethic and for working 70 hours a week. He commutes by car himself, and lives alongside workers in BYD's factories. Originally a battery manufacturer, Wang founded BYD in 1995, entered the automobile market in 2003, and launched his first EV in 2009. His vision is to make EV charging as quick and easy as refueling a petrol car. The late billionaire Charlie Munger, Vice Chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, once described Wang as a combination of Thomas Edison and Jack Welch. Berkshire invested $230 million in BYD in 2008, which has now grown over 15 times in value. BYD In India In 2022, BYD launched its Atto 3 SUV in India, which is assembled in Chennai. However, as of May 2025, BYD accounted for less than 4% of India's EV market share. Tesla, meanwhile, is preparing a major entry into India, hoping to compensate for its declining global sales by tapping into the fast-growing Indian EV market. But Wang Chuanfu can also block Musk at every turn. The Chinese businessman is preparing to deliver such a blow to Musk's Tesla that it would be hard for it to recover.
