MG Motor India has recorded a remarkable sales performance in September 2025, selling 6,728 vehicles, which is a 34% jump compared to 5,021 units sold in the same month last year. The growth is being credited to a mix of factors including GST 2.0 tax cuts, festive season demand during Navratri, and a balanced lineup of both traditional petrol/diesel models and electric vehicles. Analysts say this surge highlights MG’s growing influence in India’s competitive automotive market, especially in the premium and electric segments.

The company’s strategy of reducing prices on popular models and expanding its EV offerings appears to be paying off. Customers are responding positively to the combination of affordability and advanced features across the MG portfolio.

GST 2.0 Cuts Drive Affordability

The recent GST 2.0 reductions have had a direct impact on consumer interest. Popular ICE models like the MG Astor, Hector, and Gloster received price cuts ranging from ₹54,000 to ₹3.5 lakh. These reductions have made the vehicles more accessible to buyers who were previously hesitant because of cost.

Industry observers note that such pricing adjustments are especially effective during festival seasons when buyers are actively looking for deals. MG’s move to pass on these benefits to customers seems to have strengthened its market position while attracting a wider range of buyers, from young professionals to families looking for premium yet affordable SUVs.

Navratri Festive Demand Adds Momentum

The Navratri festival period created a natural boost in sales. Shoppers in India often consider festival time as ideal for making big purchases, including vehicles. MG dealerships saw higher footfalls, and promotional offers, coupled with easy financing options, helped convert interest into confirmed bookings.

The combination of festive enthusiasm and competitive pricing created a perfect storm for MG, allowing the brand to ride the wave of seasonal demand. This shows how traditional cultural trends can intersect with smart business strategies to produce tangible results in sales.
