Date: 01 Jan 2021
MG
Motor India has closed the year on a strong note, gathering 5,000 Hector and
200 EV bookings in December, the highest figure for 2020. The carmaker has
reported retail sales of 4010 units,(including 3430 units of Hector) during
December 2020, a growth of 33% against the same month last year.
The company
also recorded 77% growth in total sales during the year 2020 over last year,
despite continuous local supply chain bottlenecks.
The
carmaker also announced that it will be taking preventive annual maintenance
shutdown at its Halol manufacturing facility in Gujarat during the first 10
days of January 2020, which would affect its production in January. This
coupled with lockdown restrictions could hamper supply chain as well.
Rakesh
Sidana, Director – Sales, MG Motor India, said, “We have ended the year on a
high note with customers continuing to choose the best-in-class premium
products from MG’s stable. Going forward, we will have more excitement for the customers
in January. We expect the momentum to continue as the MG brand enters more
markets in 2021.”
The
company continues to ramp up the production of the MG Gloster and hopes to
stabilise the production by March 2021. It has received 3,000 bookings and
retailed 1085 units of the Gloster in two months. It has retailed over 25,000
units of the MG Hector in calendar year 2020, the highest in its segment and
1243 units of ZS EV.
