                                    }
                                }
                            }
                        });

        $("#batchgrid").kendoGrid({
            dataSource: dataSource,
            dataBound: onDataBound,
            navigatable: true,
            filterable: true,
            pageable: true,
            height: 430,
            width: 300,
            toolbar: ["create", "save", "cancel"],
            columns: [
                            "ProductName",
                            { field: "UnitPrice", title: "Unit Price", format: "{0:c}", width: "130px" },
                            { field: "UnitsInStock", title: "Units In Stock", width: "130px" },
                            { field: "Discontinued", width: "130px" },
            //                            { field: "", title: "No", template: "#= ++record #", width: "30px" },
                            {command: ["destroy"], title: "&nbsp;", width: "100px"}],
            editable: true
        });
    });
</script>
<script>
    function onDataBound(e) {
        var grid = $("#batchgrid").data("kendoGrid");
        $(grid.tbody).on("keydown", "td", function (e) {
            if ((e.keyCode ? e.keyCode : e.which) == 13) { //Enter keycode
                var row = $(this).closest("tr");
                var rowIdx = $("tr", grid.tbody).index(row);
                var colIdx = $("td", row).index(this);
                alert(rowIdx + '-' + colIdx);

                $this.closest('tr').next().find('td').eq(index).focus();
                e.preventDefault();
            }
        });
    }
</script>

in here when i press the enter key in edit mode(inserting new record) i need to go the next cell(as if i press the tab key).

as well as if i press the enter key in last cell(last column) of any row it should move to the first cell(first column) of next row.

i think problem is in my script.but don't know exactly where.

please help me here..

Try this code:-

<script>

$(document).ready(function(){

$("#KendoGridName").keypress(function(e){

var keyCode = e.keyCode || e.which;
                if (keyCode == 13) {
                    var grid = $("#KendoGridName").data("kendoGrid");
                    var curCell = grid.find(".k-edit-cell");
                    grid.editCell(curCell.next()); // To move the cursor to the next cell and put the cell in edit mode
                    grid.select(curCell.next()); // To select the next cell
                    grid.focus(curCell.next()); // To set focus on to next cell   
                    e.preventDefault(); // To prevent the default behavior of the enter key press
                }
});

});

</script>

Note:- Instead of keypress function(e), you can also use keydown function(e){}.

Please pass your comments if the code doesn't work or has some flaws. I tried this in MVC5 and it worked with Kendo Grid.
