Mahindra & Mahindra has increased production capacities of Quanto, XUV500 and SsangYong Rexton, some of its best selling brands, with immediate effect. In addition, the bookings for these brands have been opened across more centres across the country.

The capacity for Quanto has been raised to 3,500 units, XUV500 to 4,500 units and Rexton to 500 units per month. This has been necessitated due to the overwhelming demand for these vehicles, the company said in a statement.

With the increase in capacity for these three products, Mahindra & Mahindra hopes to bring down the waiting period for these popular products and thereby facilitate its customers in getting early deliveries.

“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. Being a customer-centric company, we have always wanted our products to be conveniently available to our customers with a minimum waiting period,” Mahindra & Mahindra Chief Executive (Automotive Division) Pravin Shah said.

“In addition, with their launch across more centres in India, we are sure that that our products will continue to offer a unique value proposition for buyers,” he added.

Quanto has got more than 12,000 bookings within the first two months of its launch while deliveries for the XUV500 are as per schedule. SsangYong Rexton, the company’s premium sports utility vehicle, which has over 1,500 bookings across nine cities would be launched in additional cities starting this month.
