JSW MG Motor India Posts 14% Sales Growth in August 2026, Launches Hector Tomahawk in EV and PHEV Variants

JSW MG Motor India sold 7,508 wholesale units in August 2026, a 14% increase over the same month last year. The figure marks a continuation of the company's sales trajectory, though the growth rate is slower than the 52% year-on-year increase it recorded in August 2025, when monthly sales reached 6,578 units — up from 4,323 units in August 2024.

The company also launched the MG Hector Tomahawk during the month, an SUV available in both electric vehicle (EV) and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) configurations. The Tomahawk is built on what JSW MG Motor describes as a multi-powertrain platform called ADAPT, and represents the company's attempt to address buyers who want flexibility in drivetrain choice within a single model line.

Hector Tomahawk Price in India: EV vs PHEV Variants
