In a regulatory filing, the automaker said the shortage of electronic components had a minor impact on the production of vehicles in November.

Last month, the company's overall production increased by 5 per cent to 1,52,786 units as compared with 1,45,560 units in the same month last year.

"It is expected that the shortage of electronic components may have an impact on December 2022 production more than that in the recent months. The company is taking all possible measures to minimise the impact," the company said in the regulatory filing.
