In March 2024, MG Motor India reported retail sales at 4648 units. This represents a slight increase compared to February 2024 sales (MoM), when 4532 units were sold. However, when compared to March 2023 sales of 6051 units, there was a notable decrease of 1403 units. This decline in year-on-year sales indicates 23.19 percent reduction, reflecting a challenging market environment
Month-on-month increase of 116 units between February and March 2024, indicates 2.56 percent growth during this period. This modest growth month-over-month could suggest some stabilisation or improvement in sales momentum. MG has long been able to sell over 4k units a month at ease.
Through the fiscal year 2023-24, MG Motor sustained impressive growth, marking a 14 percent year-on-year increase compared to the previous fiscal year. This consistent growth trajectory highlights MG Motor’s adaptability and effectiveness in meeting consumer demands and market dynamics.
Moderation observed in automotive industry growth in March can be attributed to various factors, including a delayed festive season. Multiple factors impacted consumer purchasing behaviour and demand, particularly in the passenger vehicle segment. However, MG Motor remains optimistic about future sales prospects, expecting a gradual improvement in the months ahead.
