MG Motor India announced a retail sales of 710 units in May 2020. The company said that it is still dealing with supply chain constraints. Production has resumed at its Halol manufacturing plant with approximately 30% capacity, while 65% of its showrooms and service stations across the country are also operational with reduced manpower.
MG currently offers two vehicles in the country: the Hector and the ZS EV; the latter was launched in January this year and is available only in select cities. As part of its ‘Phase 2’ expansion plan, the carmaker plans to introduce the ZS EV in 6 new cities including Pune, Surat, Cochin, Chandigarh, Jaipur, and Chennai from June 2020.
Supply chain disruption coupled with stricter credit financing along with non-operation of some dealerships due to the lockdown have impacted our sales in May. The production loss notwithstanding, our front-end retail operations continue to operate with less-than-normal staff strength. At these times, we remain connected with our customers waiting for the delivery of the Hector and continue to prioritize deliveries with supply chain improvements in June. We hope to restore normalcy from July onwards. All of our vehicles’ stocks across channels and dealership inventory are BS6 units. – Rakesh Sidana, Director – Sales, MG Motor India
MG has tied up with Singapore-based Medklinn for vehicle cabin sterilization prior to delivery.
