As per the company, a total of 115,000 vehicles were sold in the European market alone, which translates to a 143 % year-on-year increase, while MG's NEVs accounted for over 50 % of its total sales in the January-June period.  Monthly deliveries of MG in Europe have exceeded 20,000 units in a row for four consecutive months, the company added.
