With the increased production, we expect the waiting periods of the Glanza, Urban Cruiser Hyryder, Innova Hycross and Fortuner to come down drastically. Recently, Toyota India stopped accepting bookings for the strong hybrid variants of the Hycross m. Furthermore, both the Glanza and Urban Cruiser Hyryder continue to command a sizable waiting period.

Speaking more about TTTI, it is Toyota’s in-house skill education facility inside the Bidadi plant which focuses on skill development on advanced automotive technologies. The carmaker revealed that TTTI underwent a major expansion last year by increasing its academic capacity to 1,200 students.
