    Times of India | 8 October 2025
  • KOLKATA: MG Select, the channel that sells premium luxury segment vehicles under the MG brand, is eyeing the no.1 spot in luxury electric vehicle (EV) sales, overtaking German carmakers BMW and Mercedes-Benz.

    Speaking to TOI, MG Select interim head Milind Shah said the company had already climbed to the no.2 spot in Sept with sales of 213 luxury cars and was targeting the top spot by the end of the year and definitely by the first quarter of 2026.

    "At present, the luxury EV market is 600 units a month. We have done 213 units last month. In the Rs 60 lakh and above category, we are already the largest luxury EV brand. With the addition of the Kolkata outlet and Jaipur lined up in the next couple of months, we should be able to become the biggest OEM player in the segment," said Shah.

    At present, BMW is the leading player with sales of around 300 units in Sept followed by MG Select.

    follows with Volvo and Audi trailing behind.

    While MG Select has two offerings at present, the MG Cyberster — the world's fastest MG — that does 0 to 100 kmph in 3.2 seconds, and presidential limousine MG M9 that boasts the longest and the widest cabin in the segment, the next car to be launched under the MG Select brand is likely to be an SUV.

    "We will launch one product each year and will continue to be distinct in terms of offering and performance. The focus will be on new energy, electric, hybrid and plug-in hybrid," Shah added.
