New Delhi: If you are one of the anxious people waiting to get your new car delivery but still can’t get a confirmed date, not fret.
You are one of the more than 7 Lakh buyers who struggle frustrating waiting for the period to the moon, and sometimes almost a year.
Disadvantages of semiconductors and sudden surge in posting economic opening requests, as well as the launch of the new model – some of which have become blockbusters – means long queues for shipping as buyers fighting for vehicles.
Unfortunately, for many people, the delay means of delivery that they will have to pay more for their vehicle because the price applies when shipping needs to be paid.
The input costs have gone for car companies, and at the average has increased by around 6% since the beginning of this year.
There are waiting periods running to several months, and even years for some, and top models including Mahindra Xuv7oo SUV, Maruti CNG variants, and SUVs such as Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos, MG Astor, Tata Punch, GLS Mercedes, and Audi Electric Ethron.
So, how long does a list of waiting for eternal customers in all individual brands? Maruti, the country’s largest car maker with some of the most popular models, has more than 2.5 car backlogs.
MD & CEO of Kenichi Ayukawa often apologized to buyers for delays, and high-ranking officials said that this situation had never happened before.
“I’ve never seen like this situation ever in my long career,” Director Maruti (Sales & Marketing) Shashank Srivastava said.
“The waiting period is opposite the model, for almost all producers.” Hyundai, the second largest maker, has a big problem to overcome with more than one vehicle being sent to lakh.
The MD S Company S Kim said that customers are always stored in a circle about shipping positions to ensure transparency.
The global semiconductor deficiency has emerged as a big obstacle for the opportunity of the ramp-up at the start of production, and the company said that it would take time for the situation to normalize.
The current assessment is that the problem will last at least until the first semester of 2022.
Tata Motors, which rises high in the success of a new model, is also estimated to have a backlog waiting for more than one lakh car.
“Waiting for time for various models varied between one and six months.
Overall, our delayed order of more than 3.5 times from our monthly sales,” Shailesh Chandra, President of Tata Motors’ passenger business vehicle, said.
Chip deficiency, in fact, has a very negative impact on the newborn business of electric vehicles.
Green vehicles are packaged in many technologies and need a lot of chips as part of their architecture.
Chandra agreed, “For electricity, the waiting period is the highest, and we quickly slim our supplies.” Then there are other companies like Mahindra & Mahindra, who have seen superlative requests for new launches like Thar and Xuv7oo SUVs.
The Company Director (Automotive Sector) Rajesh Jejurikar has often said that the books have even surpassed their internal expectations with a wide margin, with the delivery schedule scattered on the moon.
According to agent estimates, the shipping schedule for certain variants of Thar which is for one year, and Xuv7oo has seen a faster ramp-up with a start of 50,000 orders made in just two days.
“Cumulatively, the 50K XUV700S applied, indicates the value near Rs 10,000 Crore.
The enthusiasm of the customer surprisingly …
We respect the responsibility of placing us,” Chairman of Mahindra Group Anand Mahindra has said in a tweet after the unit is sold in just a three-hour order window .
Santosh Iyer, VP for sales and marketing at Mercedes Benz, said that the company must work extra to compensate for buyers who deliver spilled outside the promised schedule due to lack of spare parts.
“Customers who cannot get promised delivery during Diwali are offered vacation vouchers.
We continue to communicate with them, and also writing letters to them explain the situation.
The idea is to convince them that we do not forget them after taking their money,” said Iyer.
MG Motors’ New SUV, Astor, also saw 5,000 units booked in just 20 minutes.
The company has a 46,000 unit cumulative order book.
The company has tried to increase production and chip procurement equipment to reduce customer queues.
Lots hope that with the celebration season behind us, there may be some let-ups in a hurry at the dealer, until at least the new year.
