MG Motor India retails 710 units in May 2020

Facing severe supply chain disruption, MG Motor India could sell just about 710 retail units for the month of May 2020 as the covid-19 pandemic continues to play havoc with people and businesses. The carmaker has resumed production at its Halol manufacturing plant with approximately 30 percent capacity utilisation. Around 65 percent of its showrooms and service stations across the country are also operational with reduced manpower.

 Rakesh Sidana, Director – Sales, MG Motor India, said, “Supply chain disruption coupled with stricter credit financing along with non-operation of some dealerships due to the lockdown have impacted our sales in May. The production loss notwithstanding, our front-end retail operations continue to operate with less-than-normal staff strength. At these times, we remain connected with our customers waiting for delivery of the Hector and continue to prioritise deliveries with supply chain improvements in June. We hope to restore normalcy from July onwards. All of our vehicles' stocks across channels and dealership inventory are BS-VI units.”
