Even the Thar and XUV700 are well sought after, The popularity for Thar’s rear-wheel-drive variants make it a good proposition with the lower prices, but its waiting period now averages around four months. The XUV700 has an average wait time of around six months in many cities. Given its current wait times, the brand as a whole is experiencing a cancellation rate of under 8 percent a month which seems to be within the acceptable range for Mahindra.
While Mahindra hasn’t directly revealed the reason behind its burgeoning order books, it’s quite obvious that deliveries are being delayed due to the global socio-economic factors such as international conflicts, supply chain constraints, and chip shortages. Furthermore, the carmaker has plans to increase production capacity as well to stay on top of the order books.
