MG汽车印度公司总裁兼董事总经理Rajeev Chaba告诉《印度经济时报》，该公司将在当地采购电池，以保持价格竞争力。随着这款汽车进入主流市场，该公司预计电动汽车明年将为其带来高达四分之一的销量。
“对印度来说，如果我们想让技术民主化，我们就需要低成本的解决方案。我们将在第二季度(2023年4月至6月)推出第二款电动汽车。我们预计会有不错的成交量。”
塔塔汽车(Tata Motors)，是本地电动汽车市场的领导者，市场占有率超过80%，目前拥有三款车型:蒂亚戈、虎虎和Nexon。价格在84.9万卢比到1750万卢比之间(展厅前)。该公司计划在本财年结束时销售近5万辆电动汽车。总的来说，塔塔汽车计划在未来五年内推出10辆电动汽车。
查巴表示，MG汽车印度公司正致力于为电动汽车创建一个生态系统，以加快向清洁交通的转变。
“在印度，我们需要从消费者的角度确保低拥有成本。此外，在供应方面，我们必须看看哪种组合(电池化学和充电方案)最适合这个国家，”他补充说。
该公司正在与科技初创企业合作，为当地市场创新电池化学和充电解决方案MG开发者计划(MGDP)，这最终可以在英国的MG汽车子公司和全球新兴市场复制。
到目前为止，包括Koinearth、Electreefi、Voxomos、Redbot Technologies和Mihup在内的180家初创企业已经被MG及其联盟成员识别和指导，以探索和创建互联应用程序汽车技术未来技术和CaaP(汽车即平台)。
该公司将以5.5万至5.6万辆的销量结束本日历年，并计划明年销量翻一番。
“我们受到了影响芯片短缺我们的四条生产线，比其他的都多。如果不是这样，我们今年就能卖出更多。”MG汽车印度公司原计划在2022年销售6.5万至7万辆汽车。

MG Motor India<\/a> is set to launch an affordable electric vehicle<\/a> priced below Rs 15 lakh in the local market next financial year to challenge the dominance of home-grown auto major Tata Motors<\/a> in the green mobility segment.
Rajeev Chaba, President and Managing Director, MG Motor India, told ET the company will source batteries for the product locally to keep prices competitive. With this vehicle in the mainstream market, the company expects EVs to generate up to a quarter of its sales next year.
\u201cFor India, if we want to democratize technology, we will need low-cost solutions. We will launch our second electric vehicle in the second quarter (April-June 2023). We expect to get good volumes,\u201d Chaba said.
<\/div><\/div>The vehicle is likely to be priced between Rs 11 and 15 lakh. The company already has on offer the ZS EV, which is locally manufactured at its facility in Halol, Gujarat.
Tata Motors<\/a>, the market leader locally in EVs with a share of more than 80%, currently has three models - Tiago, Tigor and Nexon. These are priced between Rs 8.49 lakh and Rs 17.50 lakh (ex-showroom). The company is set to close the ongoing financial year with sales of close to 50,000 electric vehicles. Overall, Tata Motors has plans to launch 10 EVs over the next five years.
Chaba said MG Motor India is working on creating an ecosystem for electric vehicles to accelerate the shift to clean mobility.
\u201cIn India, we need to ensure low cost of ownership from the consumer perspective. Also, on the supply side, we have to see which combination (battery chemistry and charging solution) works best for the country,\u201d he added.
The company is collaborating with tech start-ups to innovate on battery chemistry and charging solutions for the local market under the MG developer Program<\/a> (MGDP), which eventually can be replicated in MG Motor\u2019s arm in the UK and in emerging markets globally.
So far, 180 start-ups including Koinearth, Electreefi, Voxomos, Redbot Technologies, and Mihup have been identified and mentored by MG and its consortium members to explore and create applications in connected car technology<\/a>, futuristic technologies, and CaaP (Car-as-a-Platform).

<\/div><\/div>Overall, Chaba said the demand for electric vehicles remain robust. MG Motor India is working on ramping up production of ZS EV to 500 units per month, from 300-350 units now. Efforts are on to increase production of SUV Hector<\/a> to 4,000 units per month by January 2023, from the current 2,000 units.
The company will close the calendar year with sales of 55,000-56,000 units, and targets doubling volumes in the upcoming year.
\u201cWe have been affected by chip shortage<\/a> across all our four car lines, more than others. If not, we would have been able to sell more this year,\u201d Chaba said. MG Motor India had originally planned to sell 65,000-70,000 vehicles in CY2022.
