JSW MG Motor Plans Rs 6,000 Crore Investment to Expand EV Production Capacity
JSW MG Motor India, a joint venture between JSW Group and China's SAIC Motor, plans to invest around Rs 6,000 crore to expand its Halol plant capacity to 220,000 units by January 2028, with ambitions to scale up to 400,000 and eventually 1 million vehicles. The company is launching new EV and plug-in hybrid models like the Hector Tomahawk and aims to increase localization to reduce costs. JSW is also seeking a technology partner for lithium iron phosphate battery cell manufacturing, but the project is on hold due to limited access to LFP technology outside China. Discussions continue on further investments and potential stake increases between JSW and SAIC.
