SEPARATE FROM MG MOTOR JV, JSW MOTORS CHARTS ITS OWN ROAD, LINES UP DEALERS
JSW MOTORS HAS begun laying the groundwork for its independent entry into the passenger vehicle market, releasing a teaser of its first SUV and starting dealer appointments ahead of a planned launch in the second half of 2026.
The model, which will be sold under a new brand name, is expected to be based on Chery Automobile’s Jetour T2 platform and feature a plugin hybrid electric (PHEV) powertrain, according to industry sources. Assembly will take place at JSW’s upcoming new energy vehicle plant at Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar in Maharashtra, marking the group’s first passenger vehicle under its own banner.
When contacted, the company declined to comment on the matter.
