MG’s latest price revision in India is important for Nepal because the brand already has a presence here, and the Cyberster is officially listed in the Nepal market through MG’s local distributor. Nepali buyers should watch this update closely, since premium EV pricing in Nepal often moves with regional import, tax, and supply changes.
What changed in India
The MG M9 has become dearer by Rs 4.05 lakh, taking its starting price to Rs 79.95 lakh in India, while the **MG Cyberster has gone up by Rs 5 lakh to Rs 82.5 lakh**. The hikes are likely tied to higher production costs. MG had already raised prices for both models earlier in April 2026.
In addition, MG has unveiled special Couture Editions of the M9 MPV and Cyberster electric roadster in collaboration with fashion designer Gaurav Gupta. Production of both models will be limited to 50 units each, with pre-reservations now open ahead of the price announcement on August 3. These special editions feature design elements inspired by Gupta’s Serpent Infinity motif and will be sold exclusively through MG SELECT, the company’s premium retail channel. The updates are strictly cosmetic, focusing on bespoke finishes and handcrafted detailing, with no mechanical updates.
The Couture Editions of the Cyberster and M9 are priced at Rs 87.49 lakh and Rs 84.94 lakh, respectively. They feature bespoke designs, including a white base exterior with contrasting streaks inspired by the Serpent Infinity motif. The Cyberster Couture Edition’s bonnet is adorned with Serpent Infinity badges, and its tonneau cover bears embroidery of the logo. Meanwhile, the M9 Couture Edition sports charcoal-coloured streaks and a Serpent Infinity badge on the front bumper.
Why this matters for Nepal
The Cyberster is already on sale in Nepal. Local price-tracking pages list the MG Cyberster at Rs 1.68 crore in Nepal, sold through Paramount Motors, making it one of MG’s most premium offerings in the country.
That means the Indian price change does not automatically change Nepal’s showroom price, but it can still matter in three ways: - Import cost pressure: a higher India-side ex-showroom price can affect landed cost if future shipments are sourced or benchmarked from the same supply chain. - Retail repricing risk: premium importers sometimes adjust local prices when regional costs rise. - Buyer timing: anyone considering a Cyberster in Nepal may want to check whether current stock is priced before any revision.
The models and their appeal
The MG Cyberster is a dual-motor electric roadster with a 77 kWh battery, claimed range of around 580 km in the India report, and 0-100 km/h in 3.2 seconds. Nepal listings describe it as a 77 kWh AWD model with about 443 km of range at the current local spec sheet.
The MG M9 is a large premium MPV with a 90 kWh battery, a claimed 548 km range, and luxury-focused features such as power-adjustable second-row seats with heating, cooling, and massage functions. At present, there is no clear evidence in the provided sources that the M9 is officially sold in Nepal.
For Nepali EV buyers, the practical takeaway is simple: the Cyberster is already present in Nepal, but this new India price hike may be an early signal to monitor local pricing closely, especially in the premium EV segment. The limited-run Couture Editions add an exclusive layer to the offerings, though their impact on the Nepal market remains to be seen.
