We have reached out to the carmaker to get more details and confirm the reason for the price hike, however, as of now, our email remains unanswered. Having said that, we expect this to be a periodic price revision, led by the rising input cost, which could be a result of the ongoing pandemic. Earlier in August, the company had also increased the price of the BS6 Ford Endeavour from Rs. 44,000 to Rs. 1.20 lakh depending on the variant.
