MG Motor Price Hike News 2026: JSW MG Motor India has announced a price increase of up to 2% on select vehicles, delivering a significant shock to its customers. These new steep prices will be fully implemented from April 1, 2026. The company states that due to rising raw material costs and strong global pressure, manufacturing vehicles has become more expensive than ever. In this article, we will explore which models will be affected by this steep increase and which vehicles will remain completely safe from this steep inflation.
Raw Material Inflation
According to leading automobile sector experts, the global prices of copper and other precious metals used in vehicle manufacturing are rising sharply. JSW MG Motor India has clarified that the company is no longer able to bear the burden of these rising costs alone, and hence, the decision to increase prices by 2% has been made. However, the company has completely excluded premium models sold through its ‘MG Select’ channel, such as the MG M9 and the iconic MG Cyberster, from this significant price increase, which is welcome news for high-end customers.
Tata and Hyundai are also in the Race
This trend of price increases isn’t limited to MG alone. Tata Motors has also announced a significant price increase for its commercial and passenger vehicles, effective April 1st. Additionally, high-end companies like Hyundai Motor India and Audi India are also preparing to increase the prices of their models. Severe raw material shortages and expensive logistics have forced automobile companies to significantly increase prices to protect their impressive profits, which is sure to put a significant burden on customers’ pockets.
MG’s Portfolio
JSW MG Motor India currently has a range of powerful vehicles that dominate the roads. The company’s most successful and affordable electric car is the MG Comet EV, with a starting price of just ₹4.99 lakh. If you’re looking for a rugged and luxurious SUV, the MG Gloster is a great option, starting at over ₹38 lakh. This magical 2% price increase will significantly impact the on-road prices of all these rugged models. For example, a successful SUV like the Hector could see a significant price increase of around ₹25,000 to ₹30,000.
