As a matter of fact, Mahindra is likely to face tough situations due to the semiconductor issues which might affect the production process. The launch of the XUV700 was already affected in the first place due to the very same reason. Hence, it is going to be challenging times ahead for the Indian auto giant but then again, it is a great problem to have. With products like Thar and XUV700, the manufacturing facilities will see to it that the capacities are utilized to the full effect. Afterall, it takes time to manufacture the XUV700 which has the capability to ace the national speed endurance challenge.
