JSW MG Motor India Pvt Ltd, previously MG Motor India Private Limited until 2024, is an automobile manufacturer in India, which was established in 2019. Since 2023, it is a joint venture between the Mumbai-based Indian multinational conglomerate JSW Group and Shanghai-based Chinese automotive manufacturer SAIC Motor, a Chinese state owned automobile manufacturer which markets vehicles under the British MG marque.[3][4]

History

[edit | edit source]

The whole subsidiary was setup in the year 2017 by SAIC Motor and began its sales and manufacturing operations in 2019 from an old General Motors facility in Halol, Gujarat.[5] The company was intended to allocate $650 million for investment, however the Government of India aimed to restrict funding from Beijing following a conflict in 2020 between troops of both nations along their disputed Himalayan boundary.[6]

In May 2023, due to market policy by the Indian government, SAIC was forced to reduce shareholding in the venture.[7][8] By November 2023, the company entered into a strategic joint venture with JSW Group, which allowed latter to acquire 35% in the company. Further, IndoEdge India Fund bought an 8% stake, while a dealer trust as well as an employee stock ownership plan, acquired 3% and 5% stakes, respectively, leaving SAIC with just 49% stake.[9]

Operations

[edit | edit source]

JSW MG Motor India operates one manufacturing plant in the country, located in Halol, Gujarat. The plant has a capacity of 80,000 units per year and was previously owned by General Motors India, which halted its sales operations in India at the end of 2017.[10] MG Motor India has invested more than 2,000 crore in revamping the 178 acre facility after its takeover from General Motors.[10]
