Tata Motors to hike passenger vehicle prices

 Homegrown auto major Tata Motors is planning to increase prices of its passenger vehicles during the ongoing festive season to offset rising input cost.

“We will hike prices of our vehicles. Currently, we are working out the details,” Tata Motors President (Passenger Vehicles Business Unit) Mayank Pareek said.

Explaining the reasons for such a step, Pareek said: “Input costs have increased and some of the industry players have already undertaken price hikes. Moreover, we have also not corrected our prices for a long time.”

Tata Motors sells a range of passenger vehicles including the entry-level small car Nano, newly launched hatchback Tiago, and crossover vehicle Aria at a price range of Rs 2.15 lakh to Rs 16.3 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
