Tata Motors announces price hike of up to 2% on commercial vehicles from April 2025
Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, has announced a price hike of up to 2% across its commercial vehicle lineup, effective from 1st April, 2025. The company cited rising input costs as the primary reason behind this decision, noting that the increase will vary depending on the model and variant.
This latest adjustment follows an earlier price hike implemented at the start of the year. In January 2025, Tata Motors had raised prices across its passenger vehicle range, including both internal combustion engine models and electric vehicles, by up to 3%. This move was attributed to inflationary pressures, increased commodity costs and other operational expenses affecting the auto industry.
The new price hike on commercial vehicles aligns with a broader trend in the Indian automotive sector, where manufacturers are grappling with supply chain disruptions and escalating raw material costs. Maruti Suzuki, which holds a dominant 40% share of India’s passenger vehicle market, recently announced a price increase of up to 4% on its models, effective April 2025. Similarly, Mahindra raised prices across its SUV and commercial vehicle portfolio by up to 3% from January 2025, while Hyundai also implemented a price hike of up to Rs. 25,000/- across its lineup at the start of the year.
Tata Motors’ decision reflects the ongoing challenges faced by automakers in balancing cost pressures while maintaining affordability for consumers. With the Indian auto industry witnessing successive price increases, potential buyers may look to make purchases ahead of these hikes to take advantage of current pricing.
As the industry navigates economic uncertainties, further adjustments in vehicle pricing could be expected in the coming months. Tata Motors, along with other manufacturers, continues to explore cost-optimisation strategies while ensuring product accessibility in a price-sensitive market.
