MG Developer Program & Grant (MGDP) Season 6.0
Backs Indian mobility startups with mentorship, pilot access and possible grant funding.
Startups apply online before the entry deadline; a jury of corporate, academic and industry experts evaluates submissions on uniqueness and real-world applicability. Shortlisted teams get mentoring from JSW MG Motor India and its ecosystem partners, access to development and testing support, and are considered for grant assistance at the jury's discretion, culminating in a Demo Day.
Season 6.0 is themed 'Innovation in Automotive' and looks for Indian startups working on logistics and supply chain, AI in automotive, V2X intelligence, sustainability and circular economy, vehicle technology, connected services, EV charging infrastructure, or manufacturing innovation.
