MG Motor India has reported a tremendous boost in its June 2021 sales. The total number of MG cars sold last month in the domestic market is more than three times the figure the company had recorded in May 2021.
MG Motor India retailed 3558 units last month, recording a three-fold rise from 1016 units sold in May 2021. The production levels are impacted in June and will remain so in July-August due to the global shortage of semiconductor chips. The carmaker has sold 7,139 units during 2021 Q2, registering a significant growth of 162% over 2,722 units sold in the same quarter last year.

Speaking on the brand’s sales performance, Mr. Rakesh Sidana, Director – Sales, MG Motor India, said:
We are seeing early signs of positive consumer sentiment in June and potential purchases due to pent-up demand, which was on hold due to the pandemic. Even though some markets are still under lockdown, the ramping up of the vaccination drive has given us hope and we expect the demand to increase during the festival season. However, we have to remain cautious of the potential threat posed by the third wave.
