JSW MG Motor India on Wednesday reported a 19 per cent year-on-year rise in dispatches to dealers at 6,528 units in March. The wholesales for March reflected sustained momentum across its internal combustion engine (ICE) and new energy vehicle (NEV) portfolios, JSW MG Motor India said in a statement. The company said it will hike prices on the MG SELECT portfolio by up to 7 per cent, effective April 1, 2026, including flagship models such as the MG Cyberster and MG M9. Already, the company has announced a price increase of up to 2 per cent across its MG portfolio, effective April 1, 2026.
JSW MG Motor India on Monday said it will hike prices of select models by up to 2 per cent from April 1, 2026, to offset rising input costs. The price hike will be on the company's mainline portfolio and will not include premium EV products -- MG M9 and Cyberster -- sold through MG Select channel. "This price revision is aimed at partially offsetting the impact of continuously rising input costs," JSW MG Motor India said in a statement. At present, the company sells a range of internal combustion engine (ICE) and EV vehicles under its MG portfolio, from the Comet EV priced at Rs 4.99 lakh plus Rs 3.2/kmw for battery subscription and Rs 38.33 lakh for the top-end SUV Gloster.
With 70 per cent of its best-selling electric vehicle model Windsor coming from non-metros, JSW MG Motor India is stepping up efforts to accelerate sales by leveraging the opportunity through increased awareness, according to a senior company official. The MG Windsor has clocked cumulative sales of about 65,000 units since its launch in October 2024. Of the total sales of the model, four metros -- Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, and Chennai accounted for 30 per cent and rest of India contributed to 70 per cent. Commenting on the trend, JSW MG Motor India Chief Commercial Officer, Vinay Raina said EV sales were initially concentrated in metro cities, largely due to limited awareness and the absence of products that truly appealed to the masses. "The introduction of the MG Windsor changed this dynamic and became a key enabler of rapid EV adoption in non-metro cities. It was the right product at the right time -- encouraging customers in these markets to experience a sustainable driving option

JSW Steel said it will develop the mine in phases, with the first phase expected to be developed over the next 2.5 years to produce 2.4 million tonne per annum (MTPA) prime hard coking coal.

Days after a US-led 'Pax Silica initiative' excluded India from the rare earths alliance, JSW Group Chairman Sajjan Jindal on Friday called for increased focus on domestic exploration of minerals. Jindal, who leads the USD 23 billion conglomerate having interests in steel and also electric vehicles, said India has sufficient reserves of rare earths. "We have a lot of rare earth in our country. We have not worked on it very diligently. So therefore, we have not explored the rare earth mineral wealth in our country," he said. "But now, after the shock we got from China, I think the country is sincerely working to see that we develop our rare earths," Jindal added.
