MG motors India is has already announced its India plans and you can read about it here. An SUV will be the first from their portfolio followed by cars in different segments, but the company is also well aware about India’s electric future.
SAIC, which owns MG Motors has invested as much as 3.2 billion dollars in the field of new energy vehicles. Also SAIC is the only automaker in China whose umbrella includes a plug-in hybrid, pure electric and fuel cell.
