MG Launches Windsor Exclusive Pro At ₹17.25 Lakh, Fills Gap In EV Lineup

The new MG Windsor Exclusive Pro goes on sale at ₹17.25 lakh ex-showroom, offering the larger 52.9kWh battery pack with 449km range and June delivery timeline

Most automakers launch a variant, wait six months to analyse market response, then maybe consider their next move. JSW MG Motor India launched the Windsor Essence Pro, got 8,000 bookings in 24 hours, raised the price by ₹60,000, and immediately launched another variant. Different playbook entirely.

The latest move—introducing the Windsor Exclusive Pro at ₹17.25 lakh (or ₹12.24 lakh plus ₹4.5 per kilometre under BaaS)—comes hot on the heels of their Essence Pro launch. Where most automakers would take months to analyse market response and plan their next move, MG simply watched their servers crash from booking traffic and decided to double down immediately.

There’s something almost algorithmic about this approach. Launch high-end variant, measure demand intensity, adjust pricing upward, fill the gap below with new variant. Rinse, repeat. The Essence Pro that started at ₹17.50 lakh now sits at ₹18.10 lakh, creating space for this new Exclusive Pro to nestle in between the existing Essence and the price-adjusted Essence Pro.

What’s fascinating isn’t just the speed—it’s the confidence. Most companies would interpret 8,000 bookings in a day as validation to stay the course. MG interpreted it as permission to get more aggressive. The introductory pricing strategy worked so well it became a liability, forcing them to raise prices just to manage demand.

The Windsor Exclusive Pro itself tells an interesting story about feature hierarchy. You get the same 52.9 kWh battery and 449-km range as the top variant, the 15.6-inch touchscreen, nine-speaker audio, and those dramatically reclining seats that have become MG’s signature party trick. The differentiation comes in the details—18-inch machined alloys instead of premium wheels, specific interior themes, and three colour options instead of five.

The Battery-as-a-Service model remains MG’s most interesting experiment. While other manufacturers are still explaining why EVs cost what they cost, MG has made the math explicit: pay ₹12.24 lakh upfront, then ₹4.5 per km. Whether Indian buyers are actually buying into this subscription approach for cars remains an open question, but MG keeps doubling down on the bet.

The ₹11,000 booking amount and June delivery timeline suggest MG isn’t second-guessing their production scaling either. When your initial variant gets 8,000 bookings in a day, apparently the move is to raise prices and launch another one. Not the most conventional playbook, but it’s working.
