A New Star in India’s EV Sky
The MG Windsor EV has taken the Indian car market by storm, and honestly, it’s not hard to see why! Launched in October 2024, this sleek electric crossover has already sold a whopping 20,000 units in just six months, making it the fastest-selling EV in the country. According to JSW MG Motor India, the Windsor’s success isn’t just about numbers—it’s about winning hearts across cities and smaller towns alike.

- Record-Breaking Feat: MG Windsor becomes India’s fastest-selling electric vehicle, hitting 20,000 units in just six months since its launch in October 2024.
- Market Impact: Captures 31% of India’s EV retail share in FY25, giving tough competition to established players like Tata Motors.
What makes this achievement even more special is how quickly the Windsor has climbed the popularity charts. Within 24 hours of opening bookings, MG had 15,176 orders lined up—talk about a grand entry! Since then, it’s been clocking over 3,000 units a month, showing that Indian buyers are ready to embrace electric vehicles if the package is right. And trust me, the Windsor seems to have cracked that code.
Why the Windsor is Winning
So, what’s the big deal about the MG Windsor? For starters, it’s got this cool, futuristic vibe that makes it stand out. The aerodynamic design isn’t just for looks—it helps the car glide smoothly, saving battery while you drive. Inside, it’s like stepping into a mini spaceship! The Aero Lounge seats recline up to 135 degrees, perfect for those long drives when you just want to chill. Plus, there’s a massive 604-litre boot space, so weekend trips with family or friends are sorted.
The Windsor’s 38 kWh battery pack is another reason people are going gaga over it. Certified with an IP67 rating, it’s built to handle India’s unpredictable weather—monsoons, dust, you name it. On a single charge, it offers a range of 332 km, which is more than enough for daily commutes or even a quick getaway to Lonavala or Jaipur. Oh, and the Infinity-View Glass Roof? It’s like having a front-row seat to the stars while you’re stuck in traffic!
Battery as a Service: A Smart Move
One of the smartest things MG did with the Windsor is their Battery as a Service (BaaS) program. Instead of shelling out a fortune upfront, buyers can get the car for as low as ₹9.99 lakh and pay for the battery like a subscription. It’s a game-changer, especially for folks who want an EV but are worried about the cost. This model has made the Windsor super affordable, and it’s no surprise that it’s helped boost sales big time. Even after a slight price hike of ₹50,000 in January 2025, the demand hasn’t slowed down.
Taking on the Big Players
The Windsor isn’t just a hit with buyers; it’s shaking up the EV market too. MG Motor India has jumped from a 12% market share to a solid 31% in FY25, hot on the heels of Tata Motors, who still lead with 38%. Posts on X are buzzing about how the Windsor is outpacing models like the Tata Nexon EV, and honestly, it’s exciting to see this kind of competition. It’s pushing everyone to up their game, which means better cars for us!
What’s Next for MG Windsor?
The Windsor’s success isn’t just a one-time thing—it’s setting the stage for what’s to come. MG is already talking about expanding their EV lineup, and if the Windsor is anything to go by, we’re in for some exciting stuff. There’s also chatter about new tech upgrades, like better infotainment systems or even a longer-range version. For now, though, the Windsor is basking in its glory, having bagged the Electric Car of the Year at the Faster Awards 2025.
A Bright Road Ahead
At the end of the day, the MG Windsor’s 20,000-unit milestone is more than just a number—it’s proof that Indians are ready to go electric if the car ticks all the right boxes. With its stylish design, practical features, and wallet-friendly BaaS model, the Windsor is leading the charge for EVs in India.
