MG Motor is a British-origin automotive marque, now a global carmaker under the ownership of Chinese state‑owned SAIC Motor. The brand dates back to 1924, founded by Cecil Kimber as Morris Garages in Oxford. It became M.G. Car Company in 1930, gaining fame for its sporty two‑seat roadsters before its original factory closed in 1972.

Revived when China’s Nanjing Automobile bought MG’s assets in 2005, the marque transferred to SAIC in 2007. SAIC repositioned MG as its international passenger‑vehicle brand, introducing modern SUVs, hatchbacks, and EVs. By 2019, MG became the top single‑brand exporter from China and sold around 840,000 vehicles globally in 2023, with 88 % of sales outside China.

In India, MG Motor operates through a joint venture (originally wholly‑owned by SAIC, now in partnership with JSW Group) with a manufacturing plant at Halol, Gujarat. Launched in 2019, the company offers models like the Hector, Astor, Gloster, and EVs such as the ZS EV, Comet EV, and Windsor EV. Their local venture also pioneered electric mobility efforts, including battery-as‑a‑service rental schemes.

MG Motor today blends a century‑old British heritage with modern Chinese industrial scale and innovation, delivering a broad portfolio of ICE and electric vehicles worldwide, anchored by a strong presence in India.
