Driving Towards Localization: MG Motor India’s Production Expansion and Indigenous Manufacturing
In line with its growth plans, MG Motor India intends to establish a second manufacturing facility in Gujarat.

This expansion demonstrates MG Motor India’s commitment to meet the rising demand for its vehicles.
MG Motor India envisions a future where local sourcing and manufacturing play pivotal roles in its operations. The company aims to achieve this vision by extensively collaborating with Indian suppliers and manufacturers to enhance the indigenization of its vehicles.

By strengthening the Indian ownership, MG Motor India aims to build long-lasting partnerships and foster greater collaboration with local communities.
