Mahindra and Mahindra is counted amongst the most prominent and largest utility vehicle maker in India. Now, M&M is giving consideration to boost up the engine manufacturing power by a whopping 20% in the period of next twelve months. This step is expected to be taken because of the rise in demand for the entry level SUVs, such as Mahindra Bolero and Mahindra Bolero pick up.

As per the CEO of technology, sourcing and product development of Mahindra and Mahindra, Mr. Rajan Wadhera, currently about 12000 units of old engines are being manufactured every month. But, now along with the pompous launch of the brand new Mahindra Bolero, the firm will boost up the manufacturing ability by 20%. Mr. Goenka also informed the media that Mahindra Bolero sales were badly influenced because of the capacity constraints. About 6 to 8 weeks of waiting period is there for Mahindra Bolero pick up and about 2-3 weeks waiting period for Mahindra Bolero SUV. Therefore, the amplification in the production of the engines will certainly assist the firm to cut down the massive waiting period for their vehicles.
