Mahindra recently revealed that it continued to have large order backlogs for a significant portion of its SUV range. The carmaker earlier in November said that it had yet to deliver over 2.8 lakh SUVs including over 1 lakh open bookings for the Scorpio family. The carmaker revealed that it was receiving over 10,000 bookings a month each for the Scorpio-N as well as the Thar while the XUV700 accounted for around 9,000 orders each month. The carmaker said that waiting periods for some of these SUVs stretched to well over a year. The carmaker has however looked to address the issue with steps being taken to ramp up production to cater to the demand.
