The price revision will come into effect from January 1, 2021, and the price hike would vary based on the variant and model. Renault India has stated that the upward revision in prices is a result of the steadily increasing input costs across the spectrum, including input costs for steel, aluminium, plastics and other affiliated cost increases during the COVID-19 pandemic.
