Gurugram, April 10, 2026: JSW MG Motor India today announced that India's First D+ SUV, the MG MAJESTOR, has set a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS™ title for "Heaviest Train Pulled by a Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) on Rail." The MG MAJESTOR successfully pulled a 406.4 tonne train over a distance of 300 feet on a secured railway section between Kakapora railway station and Awantipora railway station in Jammu and Kashmir. This achievement surpasses the Guinness World Records qualifying benchmarks of 400 tonnes and 100 feet, establishing a new global standard for SUV capability.
The MG MAJESTOR used for the attempt was a standard production vehicle with no engine or drivetrain modifications and/or no traction-enhancing alterations. The record placed the SUV under extreme load conditions, testing its traction management, torque delivery and structural integrity. Powered by a 2.0-litre twin-turbo diesel engine delivering 215.5 PS and 478.5 Nm of torque, the MG MAJESTOR executed the pull with measured progression and consistent control, emerging as one of the world's most capable and resilient SUVs.
The attempt was monitored by independent automotive and motorsport experts to ensure:
- The train movement was solely powered by the MG MAJESTOR
- No external propulsion or assistance was applied
- The vehicle maintained stable, controlled performance across the full pull distance
All parameters, including train weight, track conditions and distance, were professionally documented in accordance with Guinness World Records verification protocols. The train, comprising a WAG-9HC locomotive, passenger coaches and a guard coach, was independently verified at 406 tonnes.
"This achievement is a powerful demonstration of what the MG MAJESTOR is engineered to deliver. It reflects our focus on building vehicles that combine strength, precision and control, even in the most demanding conditions. With the MAJESTOR, we are setting new benchmarks for capability while staying committed to delivering meaningful innovation and confidence to our customers." said Anurag Mehrotra, Managing Director, JSW MG Motor India.
