Aprilia has announced an increase in the prices of its scooter range in India. Following the revision, prices of the SR and SXR range of scooters have gone up substantially by around Rs. 6,500. The Italian automaker had already hiked the prices of its SR series by Rs. 10,000, after giving a major facelift at the end of last year.
