JSW MG Motor India has a new chairman. The company’s board appointed Parth Jindal to the post on Sunday, with immediate effect, according to the company.
Jindal is not new to the venture; he has held a board seat at JSW MG Motor India since the joint venture was first set up, and has been involved in the company’s product strategy, its manufacturing expansion and its push toward local sourcing.

For now, the company’s immediate focus remains on scaling up production and rolling out new models, with Jindal now overseeing that push from the chairman’s office.
