Comet, Hector, ZS EV, and More Fuel MG Motor India's Retail Sales Growth by 2% to 4,154 Units in November

With 4,154 vehicles sold, MG Motor India recently disclosed its monthly sales numbers for November 2023. Compared to October last year, when the firm delivered 5,108 units, the automaker's sales have decreased by 18 per cent month-over-month (MoM). There is just a 1.8 per cent YoY increase in sales when compared to the figures for the same period in 2022, which stood at 4,079 units. The 30 per cent of the total sales came from electric vehicles in the carmaker's India portfolio. Thus, the company continues to be a significant contributor to the industry. There is a 5 per cent rise in sales for the manufacturer's EVs month-over-month (MoM). Additionally, MG slashed the price of its electric SUV, the ZS EV, in the country by as much as Rs 2.30 lakh last month. The upsurge in sales is the reason for the price reduction. The Hector, Astor, Gloster, and the Hector Plus make up MG Motors' current ICE India range. On the other hand, the ZS EV and the Comet EV constitute the company's electric products.
