Pollution spikes to incredible heights making living conditions, including the air we breathe, seriously contaminated. Delhi residents are advised not to go out for morning walks or undertake exercises during the day as the Air Quality Index routinely hovers between Very Poor and Severe. Usually, matters improve after Diwali if it rains on occasion but there is no guarantee of that. In other words, the early winters in North India bring untold atmospheric misery.

The Commercial vehicle sector was the worst hit with about 29% drop in sales in 2019-20. The lower performance of 2019-20 can be attributed to poor customer sentiments, liquidity crisis, higher cost of acquisition due to new safety and environment regulations, including BS IV to BS VI transition, higher upfront insurance premium, lower demand of CVs due to change in Axle weight norms, amongst others. However, the impact of COVID-19 and consequent lockdown since March 2020, has resulted in further plummeting of sales very sharply, in the last four months. Passenger Vehicles and Two-Wheelers have seen more than 60% drop in sales during April to July 2020, compared to the previous years. However, sales of Three-Wheelers have dwindled by more than 87%.

MG Motor India to showcase brand legacy via its first- ever documentary “The Morris Garages Story” on Discovery Channel Documentary to premiere on September 24th as part of the company’s brand-building and consumer awareness initiatives, ahead of next year’s launch New Delhi, Sept. 19: MG Motor India has announced the launch of its first-ever documentary “The Art of Motoring: The Morris Garages Story”, which encapsulates how the iconic brand’s rich legacy was built over the years and changed the world of sports motoring, forever. The documentary is part of a series of brand-building initiatives undertaken by MG Motor India to spread consumer awareness around its first vehicle launch in Q2, 2019. The 46-minute documentary will premiere on Discovery Channel on September 24 at 19:00 hrs. “The documentary aims to educate consumers on how the MG brand was established in 1924, starting as a performance-tuning outfit for Morris cars, and later how its roadsters became the most loved cars for celebrities and even the British Royal Family. We at MG Motor India are proud to have created this documentary which shows the feelings of emotions, love, passion, culture etc. associated with the MG cars - for consumers in India and around the world,” said Rajeev Chaba, President & Managing Director, MG Motor India. The documentary also takes a closer look at MG’s record-breaking racing milestones in each decade and how the Octagonal badge has remained resilient despite various ownership changes. The narrative of the brand is built through the MG Car Club (MGCC) established in 1930 and its experienced members and classic car owners.
