Mahindra had recently launched the XUV500, and the company claims to have received over 8000 bookings in 10 days. So to meet the demands of these bookings, Mahindra has temporarily deferred new bookings from 11th October.
The XUV500 is currently available only in five major cities which include Mumbai, Pune, Delhi, Bengaluru and Chennai. The priority is to expedite deliveries for existing bookings, hence a decision has been taken to not open up new cities immediately. This may help in advancing delivery dates already committed.
