Mahindra SUVs to get costlier, prices to rise by up to 3% from April


Starting from April, popular Mahindra SUVs, including Thar, Scorpio, and XUV700, will get costlier, as auto giant Mahindra & Mahindra announced a price hike of up to 3% across its SUV and commercial vehicle (CV) range on Friday.

The company attributed the increase to rising input costs and higher commodity prices, with the extent of the hike varying across models.


Ahead of the announcement, shares of Mahindra & Mahindra closed at ₹2,799.30, down ₹30.45 (-1.08%) on the BSE.

The announcement comes as several automakers revise prices to counter rising production costs. Hyundai Motor India Limited (HMIL) earlier this week announced a price hike of up to 3% across its model range from April, citing similar reasons.

On March 17, Maruti Suzuki India Ltd (MSIL) announced a 4% price hike, effective April 1, marking its third increase this year after previous hikes in January and February.

Tata Motors has also confirmed a 2% price increase across its commercial vehicle range from April 1 due to rising raw material and input costs.

In the luxury segment, Mercedes-Benz India is considering another price revision in April if the rupee continues to weaken against the euro, according to Managing Director & CEO Santosh Iyer, PTI reported. The company had already raised prices in January and expects sluggish luxury car sales for at least two more quarters.
