Over 10 Lakh New Car Pending Orders In India – Scorpio N, Creta, Carens, Baleno

In the Indian market, more than 10 lakh new cars are yet to be delivered and here we have given you an in-depth look into the pending orders

In the Indian automotive market, the sales volumes and production have increased in recent times but previously during the health crisis, supply chain issues and semiconductor shortage had wreaked havoc on the overall input. Despite improvements, we are still in the recovery phase and many popular cars are enduring high waiting periods.

Mahindra introduced the Scorpio N and Scorpio Classic only a few weeks ago in India. The Scorpio N received more than one lakh bookings in just half an hour on the day the reservations opened. Approximately, the SUV offered in six- and seven-seater configurations currently has a pending order of 1.5 lakh units.

It was the highest in the whole industry as more than ten lakh new car pending orders exist. The Kia Sonet, Seltos and Carens combined to have a total estimated pending order of 1.25 lakh units. The Carens has been well received amongst customers since its debut earlier this year while the Seltos is expected to receive a facelift next year.
