New Delhi: Shipping Astor MG vehicles can be postponed due to lack of chips and semiconductors on the market, said Gaurav Gupta, Head of the Indian MG commercial office.
“We all face a very unprecedented situation.
The supply of chips and semiconductors is very uncertain and very dynamic,” Gupta said.
“Sometimes our suppliers, whether it’s a global or European supplier, has a weekly schedule that has also changed.
And it makes us change our production plan.” “We have also seen very high demand for certain variants, which are different from the initial plans, for example, our customers with style and super.
But we have calibrated our entire job in the backend to be able to support our customer base,” he added.
Car makers aim to give batch 1, which includes 5,000 first cars, in the current calendar year.
“But in case, there is an abundance to next year, I can convince you all batch 1 customers will be protected at the price of launch prices,” he added.
MG Astor Compact SUV was reportedly launched in India last month at a price of rs 9.78 lakh for the ‘style’ variant of the base, while the ‘sharp (o)’ top-line variant is valued at Rs 17.38 lakh.
