Homegrown automaker Tata Motors has raised the prices of all its models in India this month, including hatchbacks, sedans, compact SUVs, as well as SUVs. Following the latest revision in price, the cars have become costlier by up to Rs. 15,000. The price hike is applicable to all cars in the company's portfolio, including Tiago, Altroz, Tigor, Punch, Nexon, Harrier, and Safari.
Why does this story matter?
Due to rising input costs, all automakers in India are raising the prices of their models and Tata Motors is no exception. This month, the carmaker has increased prices by around 0.55% and there is no price protection for customers who had booked their vehicles earlier. Sales might get affected as customers will search for alternatives from rivals like Hyundai and Mahindra.
