"The sales in November have been affected on account of the ongoing semiconductor shortage situation. Hyundai Motor India will continue to make all efforts to mitigate the situation," the company said in a statement.

Similarly, 'Hector' maker MG Motor India said it has sold 2,481 units in November as compared with 4,163 units in November last year.

Enduring the industry challenges of global semiconductor chip shortage, which has severely constrained the production levels, MG Motor is continuously working towards delivering to customers their much-awaited MG cars on time, the company said.

“Demand from the market continues to be strong which is duly reflected in our booking orders and we are trying our best to cater to these orders," V Wiseline Sigamani, Associate General Manager, Sales and Strategic Marketing, TKM said.

Spike in both demand and orders can be attributed to the popularity of products, some of which got product refreshments, including the launch of the new Legender 4x4 and the Innova Crysta limited edition, he said.
