JSW Group Chairman Sajjan Jindal on Friday revealed that JSW Group which is in talks with MG Motor India to enter the EV space, is meanwhile working on a parallel plan to make its own electric vehicles. “Discussions are underway with MG Motor,” Jindal said.
“We are extremely serious about entering the EV space. MG would be our preferred choice. If it happens, otherwise we are also working parallely to develop our own EV cars,” the Chairman said on the sidelines of B20 Summit India 2023.
“EV is an area where JSW Group must enter as it is the future and this is a good time to make foray into this space,” he said.
Earlier in January, JSW Group Chief Financing Officer Seshagiri Rao had told PTI that manufacturing of electric vehicles was being discussed actively at the group level.
“The group was looking to manufacture electric four-wheelers,” Rao had said.
JSW Group has a significant presence in sectors like steel, energy, infrastructure, cement, paints, venture capital and sports.
