MG Motor Pursues Channel Partners Through Dealership Experience Event In Bengaluru

MG Motor India reiterated its commitment to the Southern markets through its first-ever dealership experience event in Bengaluru. The event was aimed at selecting the right partners from the southern region of India for its retail operations beginning here next year.

The carmaker received nearly 600 registrations from prospective dealers on its website from Southern markets alone forming nearly one-fourth of the overall 2,400 registrations received since it officially invited dealer partners to register last month. MG Motor India is betting big on Southern markets, especially Bengaluru region in terms of initial sales, seeing its potential to be among the top 3 markets in the first phase.

Overall, it aims to operate over 300 touchpoints across the country in the next few years.

As part of the ‘Make in India’ initiative, MG Motor India recently announced that its first vehicle will be launched in Q2 2019, followed by the introduction of one new product to the Indian market every subsequent year. The company aims to launch vehicles that are new-age, contemporary and also offer great value to buyers.

With the rebuilding of its Halol plant progressing at a fast pace, including the construction of a new press shop, the company is in the process of concluding contracts with various suppliers to achieve high levels of localisation in its vehicles.

MG Motor India also shared plans to test electric vehicles under different climatic conditions in India and said that it would strongly consider Karnataka as one of its first options to launch EVS when decided, given the state’s first-mover advantage in EV policy.
