The price hike will vary depending on the models and variants.
Price hike at the beginning of every year has become a norm in the auto industry due to various reasons. First up, the increase in prices of materials primarily regulates the prices and then other factors like increase in the cost of diesel that affects transportation cost and salary revisions in the company among others also lead to the increase. Citing similar reasons, in an official statement the company said, "Rising input costs and material costs of steel, precious metals and semi-conductors have compelled the company to pass on a part of the cost to customers."
