TL;DR
Tata Motors, Mahindra, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and MG Motor have increased car prices in India from April 2026 due to rising input costs and currency fluctuations, with EV models from Tata remaining unaffected.
As the new financial year commences, several major automakers in India, including Tata Motors, Mahindra & Mahindra, Audi, Mercedes-Benz, and MG Motor, have announced price increases across their vehicle ranges, effective April 2026. These hikes are primarily attributed to rising input costs, such as raw materials and logistics, as well as currency fluctuations.
The price revisions vary by brand and model. Audi and Mercedes-Benz have implemented increases of up to 2%, with Mercedes-Benz noting this as its second hike this year. On the mass-market front, Tata Motors has raised prices by approximately 0.5% for its petrol, diesel, and CNG cars. Notably, Tata's electric vehicles have been exempt from these price adjustments, potentially making them more attractive to buyers looking to avoid increased costs. Mahindra & Mahindra has also announced a price hike of up to 2.5% across its SUV and commercial vehicle portfolio.
