JSW MG Motor India has announced a historic achievement as MG Windsor successfully completed the 3,757 km journey from Leh to Kanyakumari in just 83 hours and 43 minutes, setting a record for the fastest EV driven on this route. This achievement has been officially recognized by the India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records, setting a new benchmark for long distance electric mobility in India.
The endurance expedition was executed by Mountain Goat, a team of passionate motorsports professionals who drove through extremely diverse terrain – from the rugged, high-altitude, sub-zero landscapes of Ladakh to the humid, tropical plains of southern India. Through the journey, the MG Windsor demonstrated exceptional reliability, real-world range stability and performance stability under extreme climate and road conditions.
During the cross-country run, the Windsor completed only 20 charging stops, effectively debunking myths about long-distance travel in electric vehicles. Charging locations were efficiently identified using e-Hub by MG Mobile App, which provides access to over 13,000+ EV chargers across India through integration with 36 leading charge-point operators.
This achievement reinforces MG Motor India’s ‘EV Sahi Hai’ campaign, which highlights that electric vehicles are practical, capable and ready for mainstream long-distance travel.
Speaking on the achievement, Vinay Raina, Chief Commercial Officer, JSW MG Motor India, said, “Completing a diverse drive from Leh to Kanyakumari using an EV in record time is a bold testament to India’s growing confidence in electric mobility and the infrastructure that powers it. This achievement also highlights the reliability and performance of the MG Windsor in some of the most challenging terrains in the country. The future of transportation is clean mobility and JSW MG Motor India is playing a leading role in this transformation.”
Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records adjudicator Sanjay Bhola said, “Hearty congratulations to the entire team for this remarkable achievement and for setting a prestigious record with both India Book of Records and Asia Book of Records.”
The car’s advanced 52.9 kWh lithium-ion battery offers a certified range of up to 449 km per charge and supports fast charging, allowing efficient, planned stops on India’s extended highway charging network. Recently, MG Windsor set a new benchmark in the segment by crossing the 50,000 sales mark in record time, which is the fastest ever for an EV in India.
Since its launch in September 2024, the MG Windsor has been India’s best-selling EV. It features a futuristic ‘Aeroglide’ design that goes beyond traditional divisions. Inside, it offers business-class comfort with ‘Aero Lounge’ seats reclining up to 135 degrees, ensuring exceptional comfort. The large 15.6” Grandview Touch Display on the center console enhances the driving experience with intuitive controls.
In May 2025, the company strengthened its portfolio by introducing the MG Windsor Pro variant equipped with an extended battery pack. Additionally, the limited-edition anniversary special – MG Windsor Inspire, was recently launched by the Minister of Road Transport and Highways of India, Shri Nitin Gadkari at his residence.
