XUV500 bookings to re-open in Jan.

Mahindra is will once again take orders for its hugely popular XUV500 SUV in January. As you may recall, the company shut down bookings on October 11, after having received over 8,000 orders � or four-months� production � over the span of just 10 days.

The company says production is on schedule and will also be ramped up to meet demand, which has grown thanks in part to word of mouth from customers who have taken delivery.

The launch prices, which started at Rs 10.8 lakh (ex-showroom, Delhi), however are expected to go up.
