The Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPVL) shares have surged over 2% after the company announced to hike the commercial vehicles’ prices by up to 1.5% with effect from April 01. The rising commodity prices and input costs are the main causes behind this surge.
News reports suggested that the price hike is being undertaken to partially offset the impact of rising commodity prices and other input costs.
Earlier in February, Tata Motors shared plans to increase vehicle prices due to continued pressure arising from increased commodity prices.
Tata Motors tackling steep hike in input cost
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicle’s Managing Director and CEO, Shailesh Chandra, said that the company has been facing higher input costs for nearly a year, and the impact is now significant enough to warrant a price revision.
While speaking at the last quarterly earnings call, Chandra noted that the increase in commodity prices, particularly for precious metals and copper, has put additional pressure on the company’s cost structure.
Tata Motors saw a demerger in October 2025 into two separate listed entities: Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles (TMPVL) and Tata Motors. The latter handles the commercial vehicle segment now.
