MG Motors Reports Hike In Sales; Solds 1518 Units In March

MG Motor India has announced that it has recorded a total retail sale of 1518 units in March 2020. This includes 116 units of ZS EV, the country’s first pure electric internet SUV, and 1402 units of the HECTOR.

Commenting on the sales performance during the month, Rajeev Chaba, President & Managing Director, MG Motor India, said, “Both MG Hector and MG ZS EV have made a mark in the Indian car market. Despite supply chain disruption globally, MG Motor continues to serve its customers. In February, our sales were impacted due to the disruption, while the situation improved during March before the lockdown was announced, resulting in the shutting down of our manufacturing plant.”

The carmaker, which initiated the ‘Disinfect and Delivers initiative to sanitize cars and ensure a near-zero contact with customers, before the lockdown was imposed, has decided to formalize this as a permanent process across the company after the lockdown is lifted, said the company.

With zero stock of BS-IV units of the HECTOR across its dealerships and its factory, the carmaker has recently started production of BS-VI variants, however, it currently has very low BS-VI inventory at its dealerships and its manufacturing facility in Halol, it added.
