Issues like semiconductor chip shortage, supply-chain crisis, and the pandemic have only helped in creating a long waiting list for the cars in demand. Initially, Mahindra Thar and Hyundai Creta enjoyed a long waiting period, but now the Mahindra XUV700 has the longest waiting period in the country. The SUV went on sale in India last year, and the automaker received 50,000 orders in a short period. While the high demand raised the waiting period, aforementioned issues have further hampered the delivery timeline. Currently, the Mahindra flagship boasts a waiting period of up to 2 years.
