Maruti Suzuki India, the country’s largest carmaker by volume, has said that at present there are about 2.5 lakh orders pending in India. This is mainly due to the challenges posed by the global shortfall in the supply of electronic components, which has had a major impact on vehicle production. The backlog on pending orders has also resulted in long waiting periods on cars. While the average waiting period for petrol cars ranges from 9 to 12 weeks, it ranges from 17 to 18 weeks for CNG models. These, of course, will vary depending on the model and variant.

So, in September we were producing only 40 per cent of our plant output (capacity), October was around 60 per cent, November was around 83-84 Percentage, and December should also be around 85 percent. So, there has been a marked improvement as far as the availability of semiconductors is concerned. However, going forward, we think this semiconductor issue is likely to be around for some time. Chances are.”
