Used car platform Spinny has finalised a commercial partnership with JSW MG Motor India to establish a structured secondary market ecosystem for pre-owned electric vehicles (EVs). The collaboration is designed to counter common barriers in secondary EV transactions, particularly consumer uncertainty surrounding real-time battery degradation, residual valuation transparency, and long-term diagnostic verification.
What does the partnership entail?
Under the terms of the agreement, Spinny will introduce specialised EV evaluation protocols across its network, utilising technical inputs from JSW MG Motor India. The inspection framework focuses on standardised battery health assessment and certification processes intended to provide clearer valuation metrics for both buyers and sellers. The program will initially roll out across major urban centres, including Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi NCR, Hyderabad, Kochi, Mumbai, Pune, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, Kolkata, Lucknow, Chandigarh and Coimbatore.
The transaction pipeline allows consumers to list and purchase certified pre-owned MG electric models – such as the Comet EV, Windsor EV, and ZS EV – directly through Spinny’s digital platform and physical car hubs. Vehicles processed through this channel will feature a 200-point inspection check, OEM warranty continuity, fixed pricing assurance and a five-day money-back window. The reconditioned units will undergo technical refurbishment at Spinny’s network of Integrated Restoration Centres, which are being upgraded with specialised EV diagnostic tooling and battery restoration workflows.
Vinay Raina, chief commercial officer at JSW MG Motor India, stated that developing a reliable pre-owned framework is critical for the brand as it expands its new energy vehicle portfolio in the country. Niraj Singh, founder and CEO of Spinny, noted that establishing structural transparency in battery diagnostics is essential to building secondary market transaction volume.
