JSW MG Motor India has increased the variant-wise prices of its most-selling car, the Windsor EV. Notably, the January price hike, confirmed by a dealer source, comes nearly four months after its September 2024 launch. MG sells the Windsor EV in two guises: with a battery and battery on rent, and three variants: Excite, Exclusive and Essence.
- The Windsor EV accounts for 49 percent of MG India's sales
- Prices start at Rs 9.99 lakh (BaaS) and Rs 14 lakh (non-BaaS)
