Mercedes-Benz has announced another round of price hikes in India. The next round of price updates will take place in two stages — in June and September, respectively. The German marque admitted that the continued steep Forex rate increase to 10% over the last four months, have increased the cost of components and CBU products in its India lineup.
Although Mercedes-Benz claims to have absorbed this steep cost increase so far, it is now compelled to pass on minimal cost onto the market, to offset the impact on operational expenses and maintain business sustainability. The carmaker says that it continues to deepen its localization initiatives in India.
The first stage of price update will take place on June 1 this year followed by the second phase starting on 1 September 2025. This two-phase price adjustment gives customers the opportunity to plan their purchases and financing options more effectively, helping them avoid a sudden and significant price increase driven by current market pricing challenges.
