MG Comet EV and ZS EV now offered with battery-as-a-service; prices reduced

MG Motor India has announced that the Comet EV and ZS EV are now available under the innovative Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) program, leading to significant price reductions. The new starting prices for the Comet EV and ZS EV are Rs. 4.99 lakh and Rs. 13.99 lakh, respectively.

The BaaS program, which MG initially introduced with the Windsor EV, allows customers to rent the battery on a pay-as-you-use basis, significantly lowering the upfront cost of the vehicle. The Comet EV’s rental cost starts at Rs. 2.5 per kilometer, while the ZS EV starts at Rs. 4.5 per kilometer.

MG's current lineup includes the Windsor, Comet, and ZS EVs. With the BaaS program now extended to the Comet and ZS models, the automaker aims to make electric vehicles more accessible. Additionally, customers can benefit from a 60 percent assured buyback policy after three years of ownership.

Satinder Singh Bajwa, Chief Commercial Officer of JSW MG Motor India, stated, "With BaaS, we have created a platform for easy ownership, making our EVs more accessible than ever. Given the strong response to Windsor under the BaaS program, we are now extending its benefits to our popular EV models, the Comet and ZS. I am confident that this unique ownership model will further boost EV adoption in the country."

The new pricing and rental options are expected to attract more customers to MG’s electric vehicle lineup, reinforcing the company’s commitment to sustainable mobility solutions.
