Highlights
- Maruti, Tata, Hyundai increased the prices of cars by 2-4%.
- Prices increased due to production costs and inflation.
- Dealers are giving discounts on entry-level cars.
Car brands like Maruti Suzuki, Tata, Hyundai have decided to increase their prices by 2 to 4 per cent. It is reported that Maruti Suzuki has announced the implementation of new prices from 8 April. However, dealers are still giving discounts on entry-level cars. Car makers say that due to rising production costs and inflation, companies have been forced to take such a decision.
With the beginning of the new financial year (from 1 April), the Indian car market has once again come up. From April 2025, Maruti Suzuki, Tata Motors, Hyundai, and even luxury brands such as BMW and Mercedes have announced an increase in the prices of their cars. Some companies have increased prices by 3 or 3 times in the last few months. Every time rising production costs have been cited. Talking about Maruti, it has now made popular models like Baleno, Swift, Brezza to 4 per cent expensive, while Tata has increased by 3 per cent on cars like Nexon and Tiago.
Why are the prices of cars growing again and again?
Many reasons account for this. First, due to a huge rise in the prices of raw materials, steel prices have increased by 10.6 percent as compared to last year, while the rubber has become 27% expensive. Second, the weakness of the rupee against the dollar has increased the cost of the parts to be imported. Third, there has also been an increase in energy, transport and logistic expenses. All these reasons are putting pressure on the car manufacturers together and they have no choice but to put this pressure on the customers.
| Car maker | Increase in prices |
| Maruti Suzuki (Maruti Suzuki) | Up to 4% |
| Tata Motors (Tata Motors) | up to 3 |
| Mahindra (mahindra) | up to 3 |
| Kia | up to 3 |
| Skoda (Skoda) | up to 3 |
| MG Motor | up to 2 |
| Hyundai (Hyundai) | up to 3 |
| Audi (Audi) | up to 3 |
| Honda (Honda) | Not clear now |
The worldwide supply chain disturbances, US President Donald Trump’s tariff rules and the obstacles in production in countries such as China-Japan have also spoiled the situation. Although India’s cars do not sell much in America, these global uproar has destroyed the schemes of companies. As a result, now cars are becoming more expensive than before.
Exemption is available at entry level
According to a report by the Times of India, some dealers are giving discounts on entry-level cars. Due to decrease in demand in rural areas, cars like Maruti Alto K10, Spresso and Celerio are getting a discount of up to Rs 40,000. Models like Citron C3 are also being offered huge discounts and cheap EMI offers. Mahindra is offering a discount of up to Rs 3 lakh on cars like Thar Rocks. However, on which dealers it is available and not on, you have to know only by visiting your nearest dealership.
