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.

Bengaluru-based electric vehicle manufacturer Simple Energy has announced that it has surpassed its FY2025 revenue by over 125 percent as of October 2025.

The growth was driven by its sales and expanding national presence. Last month, the company reported 1,050 unit sales, marking its highest monthly sales yet.

To meet customer demand, Simple Energy has increased production by 40 percent at its manufacturing facility in Hosur, Tamil Nadu.

The company is executing an all-India expansion plan, aiming to establish 150 retail stores and service centres by March 2026. Supporting this growth, the marketing team has been expanded to over 40 professionals.

The company's two-wheelers, the Simple ONE Gen 1.5 and the Simple OneS, were launched in January 2025. Both scooters offer IDC ranges of 248 km and 181 km, respectively and have gained traction due to customer feedback on performance, range and design.

Simple Energy has a retail presence with 61 outlets in major cities and plans to enter new markets such as Delhi, Bhopal and Patna in the coming months.

In September 2025, the EV maker claimed it became the country’s first original equipment manufacturer (OEM) to commercially manufacture heavy rare-earth-free motors. The new motor line delivers performance and torque while eliminating dependence on heavy rare-earth elements.

Suhas Rajkumar, Founder and CEO, Simple Energy, said, “Surpassing last year’s revenue by over 125 percent in just seven months and crossing the 1,000-unit sales mark reflects the strong trust customers have placed in Simple Energy. Every milestone – from scaling production and expanding our team to broadening our store and service centre footprint – is part of a deliberate plan to strengthen the company and serve our customers better. As we move toward 150 stores and service centres by March 2026, we remain focused on driving growth through innovation, accessibility and trust.”
