Key highlights
- JSW MG Motor India announces price hike of up to 2 percent
- Revised prices come into effect from April 1, 2026
- Rising input costs cited as the primary reason
If you were planning to bring home an MG, this might sting a little. JSW MG Motor India has announced a price hike of up to 2 percent across its lineup. The revised prices will come into effect from April 1, 2026.
Why the prices are going up
MG says the hike is needed to offset rising input costs. That usually means raw materials, logistics, and overall production expenses have gone up.
Every manufacturer is dealing with this right now. Some absorb it for a while. Then comes a point where they pass it on to the customer. The increase is capped at 2 percent, so it is not drastic. But it will still make a difference depending on the model you choose.
Which models are affected
The price revision applies to most of the MG portfolio. That includes popular models like the MG Hector, MG ZS EV, MG Astor, and MG Comet. Select models may be excluded, but the core lineup will see the change. The exact increase will vary from model to model and variant to variant. Entry-level trims will see a smaller bump. Higher variants will feel it more.
What this means for buyers
If you are already in the buying process, this is your cue to act quickly. Booking before March ends could save you some money.
For new buyers, it slightly raises the entry barrier. But let us be honest, a 2 percent hike is unlikely to completely change a purchase decision.
What it does do is add pressure across the market. Other brands are likely to follow similar moves if they have not already.
MG’s position in the market
MG has built a strong reputation in India with feature-loaded cars and a tech-first approach. Models like the Hector and Astor brought connected features into the mainstream. Its EV lineup, especially the Windsor and Comet, has also helped push electric adoption.
This price hike will not change that positioning. But it does remind buyers that value is always a moving target.
