The recently launched MG Astor, whose deliveries commenced on the eve of Dhanteras, is already sold out for 2021--in fact, it sold out just minutes after bookings began. This could be due to the fact that MG allotted only 5,000 Astors till the end of 2021 due to the global semiconductor chip shortage.
Now, bookings are open for priority delivery in 2022. But by the looks of it, you might have to wait up to four months to get your new Astor.
Here is the detailed city-wise waiting list:

The Astor commands a waiting period of up to four months in Chennai, Mumbai, Delhi, Pune, and Kolkata.

The Astor is available for immediate delivery in Bengaluru as there is no waiting period.
A quick recap about the Astor. It is a compact SUV that rivals the Hyundai Creta and is priced from Rs 9.78 lakh to Rs 17.38 lakh (ex-showroom). It’s offered in five broad trims: Style, Super, Smart, Sharp, and Savvy. To ensure that the Astor stands out from the pack, MG has thrown in segment-first AI tech and autonomous driving features.
Other creature comforts include a 10.1-inch touchscreen infotainment system with connected car tech, Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, digital driver’s display, a panoramic sunroof, and a powered driver’s seat. Passengers are secured by six airbags, ABS with EBD, front and rear parking sensors, and electronic stability control.
