Although the compact car industry in India is declining, the demand for them remains high. The hatchback class continues to attract a large number of new buyers each month, and due to high demand, the waiting period for many hatchbacks in India is currently fairly long.
Maruti Suzuki Baleno
Maruti Baleno has a maximum waiting period of roughly four months after being significantly modified for the Indian market a few months ago. The AMT version has the greatest wait, with manual models having a lesser wait — up to two months, according to our dealer sources.
Tata Tiago
The Tata Tiago is a popular choice among new car buyers, and for good reason. It is one of the safest vehicles in its class (according to Global NCAP), and it also comes with a CNG powertrain option. For both the petrol and i-CNG variants of the Tata hatchback, the waiting time can be up to four months.
