Like any other carmaker in India, MG Motor is also facing problems in chip shortage that is posing major challenges in production at its plant. The company has already sold 3,241 units in September 2021, a 28 per cent increase in sales compared to last year. Its MG ZS EV sees higher demand in the third consequent month with 600 plus bookings in September. Commenting on the development, Rakesh Sidana, Director-Sales, MG Motor India, said, “Our production has reduced by almost one-third due to chip shortage. We expect this challenge to continue for the next few months. However, given the high number of bookings, we are trying our best to address the challenge and bring down the waiting period down to three months.” With the festival season around, MG Motor India is getting ready to launch MG Astor to further boost its sales numbers.

MG Astor will compete with established players like Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos along with recent entrants Volkswagen Taigun and Skoda Kushaq, both of which have received an extremely positive response.
