JSW MG Motor is stepping on the gas. The automaker today announced a ₹3,000 crore investment to expand its manufacturing operations and roll out new vehicles in India, signaling a sharper push into the fast-growing new energy vehicle space.
The company will use the funds to expand its existing facility in Halol, Gujarat, by adding a second plant next to the current one.
This move will significantly raise production capacity from around 1.2 lakh units per year to nearly 3 lakh units annually once the expansion is complete. The investment will be funded through internal accruals, while additional funding options, including debt, may be explored for the new plant.

The company said its focus remains firmly on EVs and hybrid technology as demand continues to rise.
