BYD India has revealed plans to increase the prices of its electric vehicle models by up to ₹1 lakh, with the revised pricing coming into effect from May 1, 2026. This decision is primarily driven by the escalating input and shipping costs, as well as the volatility of raw material prices in the global market.
The price adjustments will apply across BYD's entire electric vehicle portfolio in India, which includes popular models such as the Atto 3 SUV, eMAX 7 MPV, Seal sedan, and Sealion 7 SUV. Currently, these vehicles are priced between ₹24.99 lakh and ₹54.90 lakh (ex-showroom). This move aligns with a broader industry trend where automakers are recalibrating prices to sustain profitability amidst challenging economic conditions.
