2. **MG Comet EV**: MG Motor has implemented a price reduction across its entire India lineup. The MG Comet EV, in particular, sees a significant reduction of Rs 99,000.

The three available variants – Pace, Play, and Push – have witnessed a noteworthy price drop, with the latter two trims now being Rs 1.40 lakh more affordable. Consequently, the revised prices for these variants are Rs 7.88 lakh and Rs 8.58 lakh (ex-showroom), respectively.
