The MG Hector received over 38,000 units bookings since it’s launch and has reported retail sales of 3,536 units in the month of October 2019.
Earlier, due to MG Hector’s overwhelming response the car maker had to temporarily stop accepting bookings and ramp up production at their Halol car-manufacturing facility. The good news is that the MG Motor India have announced that it has re-open bookings of MG Hector from 29 September ‘for a limited period’. To cope up with the demand for MG hector, MG Motor India will begin the second shift from November 2019 and will be adding approximately 500 people to their direct payroll.

The not too great news is that the new bookings will be made on the revised price of the MG Hector which has seen an increase of approximately 2.5 per cent (again depending on the variant). However, MG Motor add that ‘the price at the time of delivery will prevail’. Customers who had booked MG Hector in the first phase will be protected from the price increase. The MG Hector is priced at Rs 12.48 lakh (ex-showroom).
