Mercedes Benz India has received mid-year vehicle allocations from its German headquarters and has ramped up production to reduce waiting periods for its products. The company has started a second shift at its plant. The waiting period for some of the CKD models assembled in India has come down to two months from the previous 4-5 months, while waiting periods for CBUs range from eight months for a GLS Maybach to 24 months for an AMG G63 SUV.

Even in India it has seen a steady increase in demand. With prices starting from Rs57 lakh, Mercedes has a portfolio of ten AMG models in India. They have been driving sales of the luxury carmaker’s top-end vehicles (those priced above Rs one crore). The TEV segment that comprises the S-Class, Maybachs, AMGs and EQS, has been receiving outstanding customer response and grew by 107% in Q1 2023, outpacing other segments, said Santosh Iyer, managing director and CEO, Mercedes Benz India.

The German car manufacturer will launch the AMG model next month which boasts a combined gasoline engine with an electric motor.
