The JSW group, led by billionaire Sajjan Jindal, has announced the formation of a strategic joint venture (JV) with China’s SAIC Motor. In this JV, the JSW group will hold a 35% stake, fulfilling the long-held ambition of Jindal. SAIC Motor’s subsidiary, MG Motor India, already offers popular SUVs and electric vehicles in the Indian market.
What Happened? This collaboration will see SAIC continuing to bolster the JV with cutting-edge technology and products, focusing on delivering exceptional mobility solutions tailored to the Indian consumer.
The JV’s goals are ambitious: expanding local sourcing, enhancing charging infrastructure, increasing production capacity, and broadening the vehicle range with an emphasis on green mobility. This initiative aligns with Tesla’s emerging plans in India.
