JSW Motors is preparing to enter the Indian passenger vehicle market through a technology partnership with China-based Chery Automobile. The company plans to utilize its manufacturing facility in Bidkin, Maharashtra, which has an annual capacity of approximately 350,000 vehicles. Initial plans involve the unveiling of the JSW Combat, a five-seater plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) SUV based on the Jetour T2, scheduled for December 3, 2026. The company has since expanded its electrification strategy to include three new SUV models featuring plug-in hybrid, petrol-hybrid, and fully electric powertrains, including the iCar V23 EV and the Jaecoo J5 Hybrid.

As part of its expansion, JSW Motors has signed letters of intent with Landmark Cars Ltd to establish five new outlets, including showrooms and workshops in South Ahmedabad and Bhopal. Additionally, the company is developing a manufacturing plant in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, for new energy vehicles, with sales expected to begin in the next financial quarter.
