The MG Windsor has emerged as India’s best-selling electric car in 2025, overtaking the long-dominant Tata Nexon.ev, as strong demand for the compact crossover helped JSW MG Motor sharply increase its electric vehicle sales.
JSW MG Motor said it shipped 46,735 units of the MG Windsor in 2025, its first full year on sale after the model’s launch in September 2024. Consistent monthly demand propelled the Windsor to the top of India’s electric car sales rankings, marking a significant shift in the country’s fast-evolving EV market.

Monthly shipment data show that sales of the Windsor exceeded 3,000 units in most months during the first half of 2025, before rising to around 4,000 units per month in the second half of the year, the company said.
JSW MG Motor, which has one of the highest electric vehicle mixes among mainstream automakers in India, offers eight models, five of which are fully electric — the Comet, Windsor, ZS EV, M9 and Cyberster. In 2025, the company recorded overall sales growth of 19% year on year, while EV shipments alone surged 111% compared with 2024.

“The Windsor epitomises a contemporary automotive marvel that has redefined the EV segment with its practicality, technology, and futuristic design,” said Anurag Mehrotra, managing director of JSW MG Motor. “It has successfully enabled the acceleration of EV adoption by converting fence-sitters to proud EV owners.”
JSW MG Motor is a joint venture in which China’s SAIC Motor holds a 49% stake, while Indian partners own the remaining 51%, led by JSW Group with a 35% share. The MG Windsor is based on the Baojun Yunduo, a model developed by SAIC-GM-Wuling in China, and is also sold in some overseas markets under the name Wuling Cloud EV.

The Windsor’s rise comes as India continues to scrutinise Chinese investment in its automotive sector. Analysts say the model’s competitive pricing, generous interior space, strong feature list and practical driving range have resonated with Indian consumers, helping it displace established rivals at the top of the electric car market.
