MG Motor India achieved 4,551 unit sales in April 2023, representing a 126 per cent growth as compared to the same month last year. This is, however, significantly lower than its sales in March 2023 where it achieved its highest-ever monthly sales numbers of 6,051 units. April 2023 was an eventful month for the manufacturer as it saw the launch of its latest product, the Comet. This product might soon lead to an increase in sales for the company depending on how well it is received by the public.
