Following disruptions owing to Covid-19 pandemic lockdowns and economic outcomes, the auto industry is currently faced with another behemoth of a niggle. Everyone needs semiconductors, and semiconductors are in short supply.

Despite this, auto manufacturers have been able to see fairly positive results where sales is concerned. Last year this time, the market was coping with having been totally shut for weeks at an end.

Thar, XUV300 booking numbers

Veejay Nakra, Chief Executive Officer, Automotive Division, M&M Ltd., “We sold 30,585 vehicles overall and registered a growth of 17% in the Passenger Vehicles segment, over same period last year. Demand across our product portfolio continues to remain strong with Thar, XUV 300 and our recently launched Bolero Neo and our Bolero Pik-up range clocking in impressive booking numbers.”

“Growth momentum in exports continued with sale of 3,180 vehicles, registering an increase of 172%. August has been an exciting month with the reveal of the much-anticipated XUV 700 and the all-new visual identity crafted exclusively for our SUV portfolio. Supply of semiconductors continues to be a global issue for the auto industry and has been a major area of focus for us.”

Supply of semiconductors

Mahindra has for long stood its ground when it comes to the type of cars it wants to sell. Only recently, the company used the showcase of its XUV700 to introduce the brand’s new logo. The logo will be rolled out on all vehicles, communication and branding in a phased manner. This is one of many updates that the auto manufacturer hopes will help brand identity, outlook, and growth.

While suppliers, and consumers are all looking forward to this change, one can’t but ponder upon a more pressing need. Just how bad is the supply of semiconductors going to hit the auto industry. Mahindra has in the meantime announced the price for select variants of its newly showcased XUV700. The complete price list will be made available at the time of actual launch. Bookings too will begin at a later date. The question now is how well will Mahindra nee able to negotiate on its requirement for semiconductors to ensure timely delivery of XUV700.
