The MG Comet EV, known for being one of the most budget-friendly electric vehicles in India, has seen yet another price hike in July 2025. This marks the fourth price increase this year alone—after adjustments in January, February, and May—making it progressively more expensive for buyers looking for an affordable EV option.
Price Hiked Across All Variants
Unlike previous hikes, which affected only select trims, the July revision impacts all variants, including models under the Battery-as-a-Service (BaaS) plan and standard trims. The price increase ranges from ₹12,700 to ₹15,000, depending on the variant. Additionally, the per-kilometer rental fee under the BaaS model has also gone up from ₹2.9/km to ₹3.1/km.
Here’s a quick look at the revised pricing (Ex-showroom):
| Variant | Old Price | New Price | Hike |
|---|---|---|---|
| Executive | ₹7,35,500 | ₹7,49,800 | ₹14,300 |
| Excite | ₹8,41,800 | ₹8,56,800 | ₹15,000 |
| Exclusive | ₹9,41,100 | ₹9,56,100 | ₹15,000 |
| Excite FC (Fast) | ₹8,81,800 | ₹8,96,800 | ₹15,000 |
| Exclusive FC (Fast) | ₹9,83,100 | ₹9,96,800 | ₹13,700 |
| Blackstorm FC | ₹9,86,100 | ₹9,98,800 | ₹12,700 |
In the BaaS lineup, the base variant (Executive) still starts at ₹4.99 lakh, but the rental fee increase means higher running costs over time.
Why the Price Hike?
According to MG Motor India, the price bump factors in several key reasons:
-
Rising input and logistics costs
-
Ongoing EV feature updates
-
Increased demand for fast-charging variants
-
Expansion of the BaaS model with new customer incentives
Although no specific new features were confirmed in July, MG has previously added key updates like improved infotainment, connected car tech, and better cabin ergonomics this year.
