MG Cars to Get Costlier From July 1 By Up To 3% - Get Yours Now

JSW MG Motor India will raise prices across its entire model range by up to 3 per cent starting 1 July, 2026. The carmaker has attributed the hike to rising input and operational costs, and the increase will apply nationwide to its full portfolio of ICE and electric vehicles.

The exact price increase will vary depending on the model and variant chosen. Buyers planning to purchase an MG vehicle have a small window left to do so at current prices before the revision takes effect next month.

MG currently sells a mix of ICE and electric vehicles in India, spanning the Astor, Hector, Hector Plus, Majestor, Comet EV, Windsor EV, Cyberster, and the M9. The revised pricing will apply across this entire lineup from the 1st of July.

The Comet EV, MG's most affordable model, is currently priced from Rs 6.31 lakh, while the Astor starts at Rs 9.79 lakh and the Hector at Rs 11.99 lakh, all ex-showroom. The Majestor, MG's flagship offering, starts at Rs 40.99 lakh. Each of these starting prices is expected to move upward once the revision kicks in, though the company has not detailed model-specific or variant-specific figures.

MG has only confirmed that the hike will not exceed 3 per cent on any model or variant. Customers are likely to get clarity on exact figures closer to the effective date, with dealerships expected to share updated price lists once the revision takes effect.

Part Of A Wider Industry Trend

MG joins a growing list of carmakers that have announced price hikes through 2026 as the industry continues to grapple with rising costs across the supply chain. This marks at least the third such revision from MG this year. The company had earlier raised prices by up to 2 per cent from January 2026, followed by another 2 per cent increase from April 2026 that excluded its MG Select models, the Cyberster and the M9.

Industry watchers note that price increases have become routine across the sector this year as manufacturers manage higher input and operational costs, with MG's latest move falling in line with this broader pattern rather than standing out as an isolated case. Other manufacturers, including BMW and Mercedes-Benz, have also announced similar revisions effective from 1 July, pointing to a wider trend of automakers passing on rising costs to buyers through the middle of the year.

The repeated rounds of price hikes through 2026 suggest that input cost pressures have persisted for longer than usual, prompting carmakers to revise prices more frequently than in a typical year. For prospective buyers, this means waiting beyond July could mean paying a higher price than what is on offer right now.
