Tata Motors and Kia India have announced price hikes across their product lineups due to increasing input costs, rising commodity prices, and supply chain challenges. The new prices will come into effect on April 1, 2025.
Tata Motors Price Hike
Tata Motors will increase the prices of its entire passenger vehicle lineup including the electric vehicles for the second time this year. According to the official statement, “This price adjustment is being undertaken to partially offset the impact of rising input costs.” The company has further said that the price hike will vary depending on the model and variant. This decision comes a day after the company announced a similar price adjustment for its commercial vehicle segment. The first price hike was announced at the beginning of the calendar year, which saw passenger vehicle prices rise by up to 3%.
Kia cars to costlier from April 1, 2025
Kia India has also announced a price hike of up to 3% across its entire lineup, effective from April 1, 2025. The company cited rising commodity prices and supply chain costs as the primary reasons for the adjustment.
Hardeep Singh Brar, Sr. Vice President – Sales and Marketing, said, “While we understand that price adjustments can be challenging, this decision has been made to ensure we continue delivering high-quality, technologically advanced vehicles.” Kia also mentioned that it is absorbing a significant portion of the cost increase to minimize the impact on customers.
Kia India has sold over 1.45 million vehicles, with models like Seltos, Sonet, Carens, and Carnival contributing significantly to its success. The company operates a 300,000-unit production facility in Anantapur, Andhra Pradesh, and has a vast network of 725 touchpoints across 315 cities.
