Tata Motors To Hike Car Prices From January 19, 2022

Tata Motors has announced a marginal price hike on its passenger vehicles effective from January 19, 2022. The quantum of the price hike will average about 0.9 per cent, which will be implemented depending on the variant and model. In a press statement, the homegrown carmaker also announced that it has taken a reduction of up to Rs. 10,000 on specific variants, in response to feedback from customers. The company aims to offset the steep rise in overall input costs, through this price increment.

The price increase has been attributed to the rise in the cost of raw materials.

In an official statement, Tata Motors said, "While the company is absorbing a significant portion of the increased costs, the steep rise in overall input costs has compelled it to pass on some proportion through this minimal price hike. In line with the company's customer-first approach, it has again decided to offer price protection to all its customers who have reposed the faith and confidence in the Tata Motors' New Forever range. Assures no impact on Tata cars booked on or before January 18, 2022."
