The customised Hector was handed over to Bhavina Patel by Jayanta Deb, CTO, MG Motor India. The project was carried out in association with The Vadodara Marathon

Olympic silver medalist, Bhavina Patel, said, "I truly appreciate this thoughtful gesture by MG Motor and the Vadodara Marathon. It gives me immense joy to call this completely customised Hector my own. It is a stunning vehicle at the forefront of innovation in our mobility ecosystem, and I look forward to experiencing its power from the driver's seat. Along with the mobility, this fantastic car also brings to me a sense of independence and empowerment."

MG Motor India says that the vehicle has been specially designed to offer a safe and pleasurable driving experience to Bhavina. Thus, it comes with features like a hand-controlled lever to operate the accelerator and brakes, along with meticulously engineered wheelchair attachments. It also comes with the convenience of a DCT automatic transmission and start/stop button, which means it's powered by the 141 bhp, 1.5-litre petrol engine.
