JSW MG Motor India unveils E20 Compliant Hector

The E20-compatible Hector will be offered in 1.5 L Petrol MT and CVT variants, starting at a price of INR 13.99 Lakh.

JSW MG Motor India has announced that the Hector, India’s first Internet car, is now certified for E20 fuel (20% Ethanol blended petrol). This milestone underscores the company’s commitment to a sustainable automotive future, blending innovation with environmental responsibility. The E20-compatible Hector will be offered in 1.5 L Petrol MT and CVT variants, ensuring compliance with the Government of India’s E20 fuel mandate for vehicles manufactured after April 1, 2025.

With this certification, all petrol variants of the Hector produced after March 31, 2025, will meet the E20 standard. The MG Astor has already been E20 compliant since last year, reinforcing the company’s ongoing dedication to green mobility.

Rakesh Sen, Head of Sales, JSW MG Motor India said, “The enduring popularity of the Hector highlights its outstanding quality and an alignment with our customers’ needs. The introduction of the E20-compliant version demonstrates in no uncertain terms our commitment to innovation and sustainability in everything we do. We aim to provide vehicles that not only satisfy customer expectations but also play a vital role in fostering a more greener automotive future.”

The MG Hector, India’s first Internet SUV, was introduced in 2019 and has since set a new bar for SUVs. With some best-in-class offerings like its dual pane panoramic sunroof and a segment-best 35.56 cm (14-inch) HD infotainment system, more than 70 connected car features, advanced safety offerings with a host of ADAS features, and other equally attractive incorporations, the Hector has been designed to provide unique and distinctive experiences to SUV enthusiasts.
