New car buyers in India are in for a price shock as eight major automobile manufacturers have announced price hikes starting April 1, 2025. Rising input costs, increased raw material prices, and supply chain challenges have led carmakers to revise their prices across various models.

India’s leading SUV manufacturer, Mahindra & Mahindra, will increase the prices of its SUVs and commercial vehicles by up to 3%. The company cited rising production costs as the primary reason for this hike.

Maruti Suzuki

Maruti Suzuki, the country’s largest carmaker, will raise prices by 4% starting April 1. The company has attributed this increase to higher raw material costs and operational expenses.

Tata Motors

Tata Motors has announced a 2% price hike across all its passenger and commercial vehicle models. The price increase will vary depending on the model and variant.

Renault India

Renault India has confirmed a 2% price increase across its entire range, effective from April 1. The company stated that rising production costs have necessitated this decision.

Kia India

Kia India will increase prices by 3% across its lineup. The company has cited rising supply chain costs and higher raw material expenses as the key reasons.

Honda

While Honda has confirmed a price hike, the exact percentage increase has not been disclosed. The revised prices will come into effect on April 1.
