MG Comet: Market Rivals 

Priced at Rs 7.98 lakh (introductory), the new EV from MG is significantly cheaper than the Tata Tiago EV, which costs between Rs 8.69 lakh and Rs 11.99 lakh. However, keep in mind that the pricing of the Comet is only valid for the first 5000 reservations and will reportedly rise after that. It will also go against the Citroen eC3 in our market, which retails between Rs 11.50 lakh and Rs 12.43 lakh. All prices are ex-showroom.
