JSW MG Motor India, one of the leading passenger vehicle manufacturers in the country, has further upped its game to grab a bigger piece of the lucrative Indian market. The company has today launched the Windsor EV at an introductory price of INR 999,000 plus an INR 3.5 per km for the battery under the industry first Battery as a Service Model (BaaS), while usage of the EV charging facility under MG eHUB initiative is absolutely free.
The 4.3-metre Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV) is being positioned as a vehicle offering the comfort of a sedan and the elegance of an SUV. For the unversed, the Windsor EV is already sold in the global markets as the MG Cloud EV.
In terms of tech specs, the Windsor features a IP67 certified PMS Motor; a 38 kWh li-ion battery pack and 4 driving modes (Eco+, Eco, Normal and Sport) that delivers 100KW (136ps) power and 200Nm of instant torque. The Windsor EV has a claimed range of 331km and can be charged in 40 minutes at any DC fast charger.
On the inside, it gets spacious aero lounge seats that can be reclined to 135degrees, coupled with the infinity view glass roof (segment first). It also features a massive 15.6-inch Grandview Touch Display in the central console.
What’s more to further disrupt the segment and expand the share of electric vehicles in its overall sales, the Windsor EV will be available with several industry-first features. It was just last month that JSW MG Motor India announced the initiative partnering with leading EV Charging players and operators under the unified platform, which is claimed to consist of 80 percent of all the public charging stations across the country.
The BaaS model the company says is part of its efforts to bridge the gap between the cost of an IC-vehicle and that of an EV. Furthermore, through the 3-60 assured buyback plan for the Windsor EV, JSW MG Motor India also will offer 60 percent value of the vehicle after 3 years/45,000km.
At present, JSW MG Motor India sells five models in India – Hector SUV, ZS EV, Astor C-SUV and the Comet EV. What’s more the company already sees 35 percent of its retail sales coming from the electric vehicles offerings, and with the Windsor it expects that it could easily help surpass the 50 percent threshold.
For consumers wanting to buy the EV outright, the company will be announcing the pricing in the coming two weeks.
Parth Jindal, Director, JSW MG Motor India, said, “The Windsor is the first car that has come out of the JV and the team has worked very hard in developing and bringing it to the Indian market. This vehicle embodies our commitment to delivering to our Indian customers the best of innovation the world has to offer. As a crossover utility vehicle, the Windsor merges the comfort of a sedan with the expanse of an SUV, making it an ideal car for the Indian household. With its advanced features."
Rajeev Chaba, CEO Emeritus, JSW MG Motor India said, "With its delightful features and easy to drive dynamics, MG Windsor will certainly invite newer sets of customers to try EVs. Enabling this, we have created a clear channel for smart and unique ownership through the BaaS program, complemented with additional benefits. With these initiatives, we are addressing the barrier of incremental upfront cost of owning an EV and supporting easy and hassle-free ownership through the user-friendly eHUB by MG app that brings the EV ecosystem to the fingertips of customers.”
The Windsor CUV will be available in three variants: Excite, Exclusive, and Essence; and four colours: Starburst Black, Pearl White, Clay Beige, and Turquoise Green.

From the beginning, we’ve focused on building infrastructure that keeps pace with growing demand. Crossing 400 fast chargers in the state is a reflection of that effort. It’s about giving riders the assurance that they’ll always find a charger when they need one.
