- Unfazed by the anti-China sentiment, MG Motor has said that it will approach the department for promotion of industry and internal trade (DPIIT) to make fresh investments into India as the Chinese carmaker plans to get in an additional Rs 1,000 crore to launch new models and expand operations. However, in line with the recent changes in FDI rules, the company — due to its lineage (it’s a sub-brand of Chinese auto major SAIC) — will need to take an approval/clearance from DPIIT to make fresh investments.
- “The government has full right and responsibility to decide whatever is good for the country. Any government has to do what is good for the country. The Indian government is doing all the right things,” MG Motor India president and MD Rajeev Chaba told TOI when asked whether the additional permissions were a business irritant. Asked whether the anti-China sentiment will have an impact on business sentiments, he said “short-term” effects could be there, but it will be growth-oriented business in the medium to long term.
- The company had to lose out on an electric vehicle order from Energy Efficiency Services (EESL), the central government’s electric vehicles procurement arm, due to changed rules for government tenders where DPIIT clearance is required. Chaba, however, claimed that the company decided “not to participate” in the tender as the price of the ZS electric SUV was higher than what EESL wanted. On plans for India, he said that MG Motor will be increasing localisation. “We have taken a conscious call to have higher localisation in the country. Even if a part is 20% costlier in India than any other country, especially China, we will localise.”
