MG Motors continues to see its sales grow in the new financial year. The company reported a 27% year-on-year growth in sales in the month of June 2022. Number were also up on a month-on-month basis by 495 units – up 12.35% - over its sales performance in May 2022. The company said that sales for all its models were starting to pick up on the back of some easing in the semiconductor shortage that has plagued the auto industry for well over a year. The company however said that it was not all smooth sailing.

“The momentum in sales (evident across all models) comes on the back of some ease in semiconductor availability, even though the outlook remains constrained in the wake of supply-chain roadblocks and persistent logistical headwinds,” the company said in a statement.
