However, the explanation of this loss of production because of the semi-conductor shortage was provided by Rajesh Jejurikar, Executive Director, Auto and Farm Sector, Mahindra. He said, "Q2 is probably the worst of the chip shortage that we have seen and the shortages that happened were on basic chips. It was impacting primarily the ECU units that would go into the engines and also our LCVs like the Supro and the Jeeto. And so, it was affecting our entire portfolio. It was a simple IC which costed $3 and that was made in Malaysia. The country went into COVID-19 lock down for 3 to 4 weeks, and that completely dried up the supply chain."
