JSW MG Motor Plans Capacity Expansion and Battery Manufacturing Amid EV Market Growth
JSW MG Motor India, a joint venture between JSW Group and China's SAIC, is planning to expand its manufacturing capacity beyond the current 220,000 units at its Halol plant, aiming for 400,000 units and eventually one million vehicles. The company is investing around ₹3,500 crore in capacity, localisation, and new products, including launching the Hector Tomahawk SUV with EV and hybrid options. JSW is also seeking a technology partner to manufacture lithium iron phosphate battery cells in India, though this project is currently on hold. Meanwhile, the Indian government is preparing a financing scheme to support electric commercial vehicles, including e-buses and e-trucks, to boost adoption and infrastructure development.
