Demand strong, challenge is with supply: Mercedes-Benz

Global logistics issue affecting parts availability, says Iyer
Luxury carmaker Mercedes-Benz India is seeing strong demand for its products. However, supply-side constraints are driving up waiting periods for customers, a senior company official said. “When you talk purely about the demand side, we are seeing a very strong order bank and bookings coming in. If we add up what we are able to sell along with the demand, we are almost back to even 2019 level. But we are unable to cater to this,” said Santosh Iyer, vice president, Sales and Marketing, Mercedes-Benz India, told The Hindu. Mr. Iyer added that for some cars such as the Maybach GLS and G63 AMG, the company had started taking orders even for the next year, and the waiting period for different models currently ranges between four weeks and six months.More Related News
