CHENNAI: Rising demand for an owned mode of transport, coupled with decadal low auto loan rates, has resulted in the return of a wait list for car buyers. This is no longer restricted to just best-selling compact SUVs alone. Small cars, including the Maruti Alto and WagonR, hatchbacks like Maruti Swift and Hyundai i20, and sedan Hyundai Verna require buyers to be on a wait list for anywhere in the 1-10 months range.
For market leader Maruti, which has been functioning at 100% capacity utilisation since October, the wait list is in the range of 3-4 weeks for models like Swift, Alto and WagonR, but increases to 6-8 weeks for Ertiga. Maruti undertook a maintenance shutdown from December 27 to January 3. Even with the assembly lines working at peak capacity, the situation will take time to ease out, said a company dealer based in Delhi.
