Kia To Begin Shift at Anantapur Plant To Reduce Waiting Period

• Kia Seltos has proved to be a popular vehicle with over 32,000 bookings in the pipeline.

• The car has a waiting period of six to eight weeks.

• Considering the demand, Kia plans to start a second shift at its Anantapur plant to reduce the delays in delivery.

Kia Motors India has introduced a compact SUV, the Kia Seltos in the Indian market for an ex-showroom price of Rs 9.69 lakhs. The attractive pricing has resulted in a surge in the bookings for Kia Seltos that has now crossed 32,000 in five weeks. Thus, there is a waiting period of nearly six to eight weeks for the delivery of Kia Seltos. To cater to the growing demand, Kia plans to work in two shifts at the Anantapur plant.
