MG Windsor EV long-range variant in pipeline, to get a 50.6 kWh battery pack

MG Windsor EV has become the key model from the automaker in 2024. The electric car that was launched with a battery-as-a-subscription (BaaS) program now comes powered by a 38 kWh battery pack. However, with the rising demand and sales numbers, MG has now decided to bring a long-range variant of the EV, which will come powered by a bigger battery pack.
The MG Windsor EV long-range variant is expected to hit the market sometime next month. It would come powered by a 50.6 kWh battery pack, which would allow the electric car to run up to 460 kilometres on a single charge. This will put the upcoming version of Windsor EV on par with the MG ZS EV.

Powering the upcoming variant of the MG Windsor EV would be a front-wheel drivetrain, which will be capable of churning out 131.3 bhp peak power and 200 Nm of maximum torque. The upcoming variant of the MG Windsor EV is expected to run at a top speed of 175 kmph, which is exactly the same as the existing Windsor EV. The EV currently comes promising 20-100 per cent charge in seven hours, while using a DC fast charger, it can be topped up from 30 per cent to 80 per cent in 30 minutes.
With a bigger battery pack, the upcoming long-range version of the MG Windsor EV would come commanding a premium of ₹4 lakh over the existing model's top trim. In that case, the upcoming long version of Windsor EV would come directly challenging the electric SUVs like Tata Curvv.ev and the Mahindra BE6.
MG has tasted pretty good success with the Windsor EV in the Indian market within a short span after its launch. Now, the auto company aims to continue that momentum and leverage the rising demand for electric vehicles with the upcoming long-range variant of the EV.

Tata Harrier EV: Here are 5 features that make the SUV stand out from its rivals

Tata Motors has introduced its newest electric SUV, the Harrier EV, in India at an introductory starting price of ₹ 21.49 lakh (ex-showroom). This premium electric SUV enhances the homegrown automaker's strong presence in the Indian electric passenger vehicle market, where Tata Motors already leads the competition with its diverse array of products including the Tiago EV, Tigor EV, Punch EV, Nexon EV, and Curvv EV. (Also check out: Upcoming cars in India) As the Tata Harrier EV joins its aforementioned siblings in revitalising the EV segment, it also poses a challenge to competitors like the Mahindra XEV 9e and Mahindra BE 6, among others. The Tata Harrier EV comes loaded with a wide array of features, many of which are segment-leading. For those considering the purchase of an electric SUV in the above ₹ 20 lakh segment and feeling perplexed between the Tata Harrier EV and the Mahindra BE 6, this guide highlights the key features that the Tata SUV offers over its counterpart from Mahindra. Moreover, the Tata Harrier EV comes with an electric Boss mode for the co-driver's seat. This innovative feature enables the rear seat occupant to electronically move the front passenger seat forward, thereby increasing legroom and knee space for rear-seat passengers. Conversely, the Mahindra BE 6 features powered front seats with a memory function for the driver's seat, but does not provide this convenience technology. One of the most intriguing and unique features of the Tata Harrier EV is its Summon Mode, allowing the driver to move the vehicle forward or backwards using the key fob, without needing to enter the vehicle. Furthermore, this electric SUV features a reverse assist capability that recalls the last 50 metres driven and can automatically retrace the same route. Although the Mahindra BE 6 also offers automatic parking, it lacks the reverse memory feature. Additionally, the Tata Harrier EV not only presents a 360-degree view of the vehicle but also provides a remarkable 540-degree camera view. A notable feature is the added view of the terrain beneath the SUV's bonnet, which includes a transparent mode. This allows the driver to visually assess the terrain under the vehicle, facilitating easier driving on rough surfaces. The Mahindra BE 6, on the other hand, is equipped with a standard 360-degree camera with blind spot detection, but does not include an underbody view. A standout feature within the cabin of the Tata Harrier EV is its digital IRVM, which integrates a dashcam. This IRVM provides a live video feed captured by a roof-mounted camera, displaying the rear view of the vehicle. It includes various soft-touch buttons that enable the user to take snapshots, zoom in and out for better image or video details, and browse through older recordings and images. In contrast, the Mahindra BE 6 is equipped with a standard auto-dimming IRVM. The Tata Harrier EV is equipped with a larger 14.5-inch QLED touchscreen infotainment system, offering a plethora of connectivity features, in comparison to the Mahindra BE 6's 12.3-inch touchscreen infotainment unit. Both systems provide wireless connectivity options for Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. The Tata Harrier EV offers multiple terrain modes, comprising a total of six distinct options: Normal, Rock Crawl, Mud Ruts, Snow/Grass, Sand, and a Custom setting. In comparison, the Mahindra BE 6 is limited to just three driving modes: Range, Everyday, and Race.

Uno Minda gains as board approves Rs 210-cr aluminium die casting plant in Maharashtra

Uno Minda added 2.23% after the company's board has approved the setting up of a greenfield manufacturing facility for aluminium die casting in Sambhaji Nagar, Maharashtra for Rs 210 crore. This strategic expansion is aimed at meeting the rapidly growing demand for casting components, particularly in electric two- and fourwheelers (e-2Ws and e-4Ws). With the accelerating shift towards electric mobility, aluminium die casting has become a critical enabler for developing lightweight and high-performance vehicle platforms. Electric vehicles (EVs) require significantly more aluminium-based structural and thermal components compared to internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles, making advanced die casting capabilities essential for EV powertrain and body applications. Uno Minda's upcoming facility will play a strategic role in supporting its backward integration efforts by supplying key casting components to its planned four-wheeler EV powertrain plant. The new facility will be located in Sambhaji Nagar (Aurangabad), Maharashtra, ensuring logistical efficiency and proximity to both the EV powertrain plant and other major OEM customers in the region. The project entails a total planned capital investment of approximately Rs 210 crore, to be executed in a phased manner over the next five years. The investment will be funded through a balanced mix of internal accruals and debt. Phase 1 of the plant is expected to commence commercial operations by Q2 FY27. The investment underscores Uno Mindas long-term commitment to strengthening domestic manufacturing, enhancing localisation, and maintaining a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving electric mobility landscape. The companys consolidated net profit declined 7.5% year-on-year to Rs 266.21 crore in Q4 FY25, even as revenue from operations rose 19.4% to Rs 4,528.32 crore. Uno Minda is a leading global manufacturer and supplier of advanced automotive technology and systems to OEMs. They design and manufacture over 25 categories of components and systems for vehicles across all segments (passenger cars, commercial vehicles, two- and three-wheelers) catering to both internal combustion engines (ICE) and electric/hybrid vehicles.
