MG Motor india has re-opened bookings for the Hector compact SUV, the company has announced. The bookings will be open for a limited period and is a result of the automaker commencing the second shift at its Halol facility in Gujarat to boost production from November this year.
In addition to the re-opening its order books, Morris Garages also announced a 2.5 per cent (depending on the variant) price hike on the Hector that will be effective for the new lot of customers, while the first lot of customers that are yet to receive deliveries will remain protected from the price increase. Prices for the MG Hector currently start at Rs. 12.18 lakh, going up to Rs. 16.88 lakh (ex-showroom delhi).
MG Motor made a big splash in india when it arrived earlier this year, and the automaker found more demand for the Hector than it originally anticipated. The increase in production was warranted by this overwhelming demand and has seen a direct addition of 500 personnel on the company's payroll at the plant.
