This November, MG Motor India closed on a total of 5,754 units sold — a mix of its ICE and EV models. That marked a year-on-year decline compared to November 2024, and also a drop from October 2025. Analysts suggest several factors may be at play: shifting tax norms, changing EV incentives, and evolving buyer preferences. Still, there’s more than meets the eye in these figures — and a broader story about how MG is repositioning itself in 2025, balancing ICE demand with the growing buzz around electric vehicles.
EVs Still Pulling Their Weight — But ICE Models Face Headwinds
MG’s EV offerings — including models like MG Windsor EV, MG Comet EV and MG ZS EV — remain a key strength. The rise in awareness about electric mobility, combined with features and competitive pricing, continues to draw interest from city buyers. Windsor EV in particular has helped MG stay relevant in India’s rapidly evolving EV market.
On the flip side, traditional ICE models such as MG Astor, MG Hector and MG Gloster seem to be bearing the brunt of reduced demand. According to recent reports, several ICE models have seen a dip in monthly off-takes.
Supply, Tax Changes, and Broader Market Trends
One key challenge for MG recently appears to be the changing regulations around taxes — especially with the revised GST rates under “GST 2.0.” ICE car buyers had expected benefits, but EVs remained largely unaffected by these changes. Some experts believe this tax dynamic may have discouraged a portion of ICE buyers last month.
What It Means for Buyers in Late 2025
For prospective car buyers in India, this sales snapshot offers some useful takeaways:
-
EVs are increasingly viable not just as “city cars” but as real alternatives even for suburban and longer-distance use, thanks to improved charging infrastructure and better pricing.
-
ICE cars from MG are still available — and sometimes at attractive price points — but buyers may need to expect slower resale value or longer wait times as the EV shift picks up.
-
If you’re after premium features or a luxury EV experience, MG’s “Select” range might now feel more accessible.
