Tata Motors began the production of the Punch micro SUV in September 2021, and the company says that it is currently trying to ramp up the capacity based on the bookings it has received. Shailesh Chandra said that while the company has enough vehicles in stock to address the initial booking numbers, customers might have to face some amount of waiting period after a few weeks. He said, "We have sufficient cars to start with. Given the bookings we have received we are ok to deliver those, but there will be some waiting period 1 month after the launch as more bookings pour in"
