Hyundai has recently announced that it is going to increase the production of its Creta model in order to cater to the increasing demand for the crossover. The company has received over 70,000 bookings in the domestic market along with an export order for 15,770 units. Currently, the automaker is manufacturing around 7,200 units per month, which is not enough to fulfill the present requirements. As a result, the waiting period has been exceeded to 3-4 months, which varies as per the variant. In order to resolve the issue, Hyundai is going to produce 10,000 units per month.
