Will JSW-MG Bring More Chinese Car Maker...

THE ECONOMIC TIMES
About this episode

The JSW Group-MG Motor wants to bring the “Maruti moment” to the Indian EV industry. The steel major and Chinese auto giant have ambitious targets of flooding the market with new, flashy models and clocking 1 million sales volume by as early as 2030. The number is several multiples of the total EVs sold in India last year. Are these realisable targets? Will the partnership help MG to expand in a market that doesn’t look kindly to Chinese entities? Are there more Indo-Chinese auto partnerships in the offing?

Host Anirban Chowdhury breaks it down with Puneet Gupta, Director - S&P Global Mobility, Shailly Seth Mohile, and Rajiv Ghosh of Economic Times. Also listen to excerpts of an exclusive interview with Rajeev Chaba, president, MG Motor India only on the latest episode of The Morning Brief podcast!
