With over 20,000 unit sales since its launch in September 2024, the Windsor EV has become the fastest EV in India to cross the sales mark
Since its launch in September 2024, the MG Windsor EV has become a strong favourite among Indian buyers, crossing the 20,000 unit sales mark in just six months. This makes it the fastest electric vehicle in India to reach the 20,000 unit sales milestone.
Its growing popularity can be linked to several factors, including its unique design as well as minimalist and spacious interiors. However, a major contributor to its strong demand could also be MG’s battery rental scheme. This option helps lower the upfront cost of the car, while you need to pay a fee for using the battery pack. This has made the car more affordable for many buyers.
Here is a detailed look at the MG Windsor EV’s prices, both with the battery subscription plan and without it.

The battery subscription plan, called BaaS (Battery as a Service) by MG, helps reduce the upfront cost of the Windsor EV, as shown in the table. Under this plan, customers are required to pay a battery rental fee of Rs 3.9 per km, with a mandatory monthly charge for at least 1,500 km.
One major benefit of this plan, apart from the lower initial cost, is that first owners receive an unlimited warranty on the battery along with free battery replacement whenever needed.
