- MINI is set for a major push with 10 model launches in 2026 and an internal goal to double unit sales, broadening the brand’s footprint in the market.
- BMW aims to cut costs by raising local sourcing from about 50% and is evaluating local e‑motor supply, while pressing to keep EV GST at 5%; the company is also weighing a 2–3% price hike due to rupee depreciation and estimates a ~60% share of India’s luxury EV segment.
