In comparison, the brand had registered a total sales of 1,518 units back in March 2020. This is because, last year, MG Motor India sold only two vehicles in March. This includes the Hector and the ZS EV electric-SUV.

A Month-on-Month sales analysis reveals that MG Motor India has sold 1,199 unit more in March 2021 than in February this year. This is a monthly growth of over 27 per cent. With the continued momentum, the carmaker now has a waiting period of up to 2-3 months for most of the models.

The company has is also offering its ZS EV electric-SUV offering via Myles and Zoomcar with Orix as a part of a monthly subscription plan as well. The company has received a good response from the new ownership scheme. As a result, MG has clocked the highest-ever ZS EV sales since its launch last year.

Commenting on the sales performance, Mr Rakesh Sidana Director - Sales, MG Motor India, said, "The highest monthly sales achieved in March 2021 are very encouraging with momentum continuing for our product lines. While Hector received 6,000+ bookings during the month, the Gloster has continued its advance in the premium SUV segment. MG ZS EV's increased traction is also being witnessed across various quarters including luxury buyers looking for a personal driving experience."

"However, we are likely to see a disruption in the supply chain due to shortage of semiconductor chips globally as well as the second wave of Covid. We may observe a few NPDs (no production days) in April 2021 as a preventive measure. We assure our customers that we will provide transparent communication to them throughout," Sidana added.
