As the company saw the order backlog crossing the figure of 6,000 units it has announced the closure of booking process for its SUV Fortuner in the Indian market.

While the bookings are expected reopen only in January next year, the company is trying everything possible to increase the production of the model to meet the high consumer demand in the Indian market.
