While talking to Moneycontrol, Shashank Srivastava, the Executive Director of Sales and Marketing at MSIL, said, “Since Jimny is a global cult brand, there was already a section of buyers who were eagerly waiting to buy it. The pricing and monthly output are very difficult (numbers) to discern at this moment. The introductory price will depend on multiple factors on what the competitor’s (Mahindra Thar) price range is, as well as input costs and total cost of production during those times.”

“While the waitlist for this model has already gone up to 2-3 months, I won’t be surprised if we manage to book 10,000 units in a month or so, and customers get to wait for six months,” he added.

The statement shows that Maruti officials are expecting 10,000 bookings for the Jimny within a month. They also speculate that this could raise the waiting period to up to 6 months. With simple calculations, we can speculate that Maruti might have a production capacity of around 1,700 units a month for the Jimny.

Talking about the waiting periods, Maruti currently have around 3,66,000 pending deliveries. The cars in this list include:

• Ertiga with a waiting period of more than 7 months
• Brezza with a waiting period of more than 5 months
• Grand Vitara with a waiting period of 3 - 4 months
