Why this matters
The sales jump shows JSW MG Motor India's momentum across both petrol and new-energy models. The Hector Tomahawk, built on India's first multi-energy platform, is central to that push: EV deliveries start next month and PHEV versions follow in November, giving buyers flexible choices. The introductory battery-rental pricing also lowers the entry cost for EV buyers.
