Mahindra Xylo production is experiencing a rough ride as the deadlock between Mahindra and the laborers continues. The ongoing strike has eventually left the customers with a long waiting period for the car.
Mahindra Xylo was launched in January this year, since then it had bagged more than 15,000 bookings within three months. The company had also increased the car’s production from 60 to 135 units per day seeing the huge demand for the car.
Xylo proved to b e a mascot for the company which has brought good profit even in the time of economic slowdown. Similarly, car models like Maruti Suzuki Swift hatch, Swift DZire sedan, and Hyundai i20 saw good responses in the market.
Mahindra now fears the risk of losing its prospective buyers for the car to its main rival Toyota Innova if the production does not starts quickly. The Innova has a waiting period of four weeks and Xylo currently has a waiting period of four-six weeks. Xylo has its target audiences in urban and semi-urban areas who may take the delivery delays in a negative way. Mahindra is in tight spot now as it has to protect the market of its leading car model while maintaining a cordial relationship with its employees as well as customers.
When Mahindra was gaining success with its model, the obstacles came in their way. it is really sad that one of the most successful models is facing problem. As this affects the production the waiting period too will prolong. Hope very soon every thing is settled.
Its good to see that Mahindra has so many bookings for Xylo that it is unable to meet the demand. This shows how popular the Utility Vehicle Xylo is. I even read in Economic times that Mahindra Utility Vehicle sales have overtaken Toyota Innova sales by a large scale in April 2009. So xylo did prove to be an Innova killer. Looks like other cars have been "Xyloed."Best of luck to Mahindra with the increased production demand.As a Xylo loevr I absolutely adore the xylo website http://www.mahindraxylo.co.in
Mr Anonymous are you writing a letter to Mr Mahindra saying that i hope all is well at your place. This is a serious matter where a labour unrest is posing a hurdle.Xylo is most highly booked SUVs in India so far. Yes, There could not have been an inopportune timing for the strike. but i cannot agree that Mahindra was not aware about labour dissatisfaction. Is Mahindra serious about giving buyers their products or not?.
It is sad to know that such an successful model is facing obstacles. I do not understand why the car manufacturer does not settle the issue fast when they know it is the consumers who are going to be affected with it.
There is evidently a bunch to know about this. I consider you made various nice points in features also.
