Zaheerabad, February 14, 2026: MG Group marked 30 years of operations at its integrated Zaheerabad complex and announced a series of strategic decisions aimed at consolidating high volume manufacturing and sharpening product specialisation across its facilities.
The event included the unveiling of a marble bust of Late Mr. Mohan Vasant Kamat, Founder Chairman of MG Group. The ceremony was led by Mrs. Sudha Mohan Kamat, Co Founder and Director, Mr. Anil Mohan Kamat, Chairman and Managing Director, and Mrs. Devika Anil Kamat, Director, MG Group.

The Zaheerabad facility was established in 1996 after an opportunity extended by Mahindra and Mahindra to explore operations in the region. Operations began in a repurposed hacksaw blade factory acquired through a government auction. Over three decades, the site has evolved into an integrated complex housing MG Automotives, MG Bus and Coach, MG Composites and MG Grey Engine.
The facility has catered to leading OEMs, State Transport Undertakings and private operators across school transport, staff mobility, regional and mofussil services, special application vehicles and intercity coach segments.

Addressing the gathering, Mr. Anil Mohan Kamat said, “My father helped lay the foundation for India’s modern bus body manufacturing industry. What he built at Zaheerabad was not just a facility, but a culture of courage, discipline and excellence. As we mark 30 years here, we are not looking back, we are strengthening our commitment to India’s mobility future.”
As part of its next phase, MG Group announced that high volume segments including school, staff, mofussil and economy categories will be consolidated at Zaheerabad, with production migrating from its Belagavi facility. Belagavi will focus on premium and super premium intercity coach manufacturing.

The Zaheerabad plant, which resumed operations following pandemic disruptions, will undergo a calibrated ramp up in 2026. Planned investments include capacity expansion, process automation, upgraded paint shop and trim line facilities, strengthened composites and lightweighting capabilities, and workforce skill development.
The Group also intends to deepen integration across its design, engineering, composites, electronics and manufacturing entities to enhance execution efficiency for OEMs and State Transport Undertakings.

Mr. Kamat stated, “India’s passenger mobility landscape is entering a transformative decade. MG Group is preparing for this shift with deeper engineering integration, strong design capabilities and a sharper focus on product specialization. The next phase of growth will be built on both heritage and innovation.”
The ceremony concluded with a tribute film, reflections from long serving leadership members and a tree plantation with employees at the Zaheerabad complex.
Founded in 1980 by Late Mr. Mohan Vasant Kamat and Mrs. Sudha Mohan Kamat, MG Group operates integrated facilities in Telangana and Karnataka, providing end to end bus and coach manufacturing solutions across economy, premium and super premium categories.
