The newly launched TIGRA is not your regular intercity bus. It’s made for people who spend hours on the road offering them comfort, safety and a smooth ride. MG built it at their Belagavi plant and it's available on all 13.5-meter coach chassis, meaning it’s ready for Indian and global markets.

Inside, it feels more like an airplane than a bus:

1. No sharp edges, thanks to ABS-moulded interiors
2. Ambient lighting makes nighttime travel feel cozy
3. Premium seats and berths give passengers a relaxed ride
4. Stylish Daytime Running Lights with a heartbeat-style design catch the eye
5. Safety isn’t skipped, with PU-moulded handles for support

This coach is not just good-looking, it's built smart. MG has upgraded their Belagavi plant with new tools and systems to make sure every unit is built to high standards.

A New Era for MG Group

At the launch event, called "RE:BORN", MG showed more than a coach. They revealed a new logo—a smooth flow from “M” to “G”, wrapped in a bold hexagonal shape inspired by a bolt. It’s clean, sharp and meaningful. The logo shows their journey from just a vendor to a leading design-driven brand.
