TL;DR
Major automakers in India, including Renault, are set to increase vehicle prices by up to 2% from January 2026, driven by rising input costs and economic pressures.
Several prominent automakers in India, including Renault India, have announced plans to increase vehicle prices starting January 2026. Renault India confirmed a marginal increase of up to 2 per cent across its model lineup, citing rising input costs and prevailing macroeconomic pressures as the primary reasons for the revision.
This trend is not isolated to Renault, as other manufacturers, such as JSW MG Motor India, have also indicated similar price adjustments of up to 2% from January 2026. Luxury carmakers like Mercedes-Benz are also considering quarterly price hikes throughout 2026 to offset the adverse impact of currency depreciation against the Euro. These adjustments reflect the broader challenges faced by the automotive industry due to increasing raw material costs, logistics expenses, and manufacturing overheads.
