Mahindra to increase production of Quanto and XUV500

Mahindra has announced that it will hike the production of the Quanto and the XUV500 to bring down the length of the waiting period for these vehicles. The Indian utility major had earlier announced that it would hike the production of the Ssangyong Rexton to 500 units per month for the very same reason. 

The capacity for the Quanto has been raised to 3500 units, XUV500 to 4500 units, so as to effectively deliver the vehicles in the shortest possible time to customers, said the company. The bookings for these brands have been opened across more centres in India. 

Mahindra’s Quanto has garnered bookings of more than 12000 units within the first two months of its launch while deliveries for the XUV500 are as per schedule. The company’s premium SUV, the SsangYong Rexton which has over 1500 bookings across 9 cities is now poised to be launched in additional cities starting this month.

Speaking on the capacity expansion, Pravin Shah, chief executive, automotive division, said, “While we have been overwhelmed at the response from our customers to all the three products which are at different price points, we thought it best to expand capacities so that prospective customers are not inconvenienced with long waiting periods.”
