BMW announced its new 7 Series range for India on September 11, with deliveries due to begin in October 2026. The launch includes the locally produced petrol 740 M Sport and electric i7 50, alongside the imported electric i7 M70.

The company says local i7 production at its Chennai plant makes India the only country outside Germany to produce the model locally. This is an Indian market and manufacturing expansion, not the first global unveiling of the 7 Series. BMW presented the vehicles with brand ambassador Ranveer Singh at the launch.
