MG Group, one of India’s leading privately-owned bus and coach manufacturers, has unveiled its new corporate identity and launched TIGRA, a next-generation, in-house developed super-premium intercity coach. Designed and manufactured at MG’s state-of-the-art facility in Desur Belagavi, TIGRA is built for both domestic and global markets and is available on all 13.5-meter coach chassis platforms.
The launch event, titled “RE:BORN”, was held at The Royal Senate, Palace Grounds in Bengaluru and marked a significant milestone—celebrating a decade since MG’s foray into the premium coach segment. The redesigned corporate logo, featuring a fluid transition from ‘M’ to ‘G’ within a hexagonal bolt-inspired silhouette, reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation, seamless design, and market leadership.

With our new identity and the TIGRA platform, we are repositioning MG as a front-facing brand known for innovation, design leadership, and premium offerings.”
