JSW MG Motor India announces up to 2 percent price hike from January 2026
JSW MG Motor India has confirmed a price revision across its entire product portfolio, effective from January 1, 2026. The company stated that prices will increase by up to 2 percent depending on the model and variant.
According to MG, the revision is driven by higher input costs and broader macroeconomic pressures that continue to impact the automotive industry. The brand clarified that the extent of the increase will vary across different vehicles and trims.
Among MG’s high-volume products, the MG Windsor EV is expected to see an ex-showroom price increase in the range of Rs. 30,000 to Rs. 37,000. Post revision, the electric model could be priced between Rs. 14.27 lakh and Rs. 18.76 lakh, depending on the variant.
MG’s entry-level electric offering, the MG Comet EV, may witness a relatively smaller hike. Prices are expected to rise by approximately Rs. 10,000 to Rs. 20,000, taking its ex-showroom range to an estimated Rs. 7.64 lakh to Rs. 10.19 lakh.
The announcement comes shortly after MG introduced the facelifted version of the MG Hector. The updated SUV features subtle exterior changes, revised interior colour schemes, and retains its focus on technology and comfort-oriented features. The Hector facelift is currently priced between Rs. 11.99 lakh and Rs. 18.99 lakh, while the seven-seat Hector Plus is priced from Rs. 17.29 lakh to Rs. 19.49 lakh. MG has indicated that prices for the diesel-powered and six-seat variants will be announced sometime in 2026.
MG’s move aligns with a broader industry trend. Several manufacturers have announced similar price adjustments ahead of the new year, citing rising operational expenses and currency-related pressures. Luxury brands such as Mercedes-Benz and EV-focused players like BYD have also confirmed price increases across select models starting January 2026.
With costs continuing to rise across the supply chain, price revisions are increasingly becoming a common response for automakers operating in the Indian market.
