Tata has announced a new price hike with a weighted average increase of 0.55 per cent across its product portfolio

Tata Motors has today announced yet another price hike for its passenger cars in the domestic market as the weighted average increase of 0.55 per cent will officially come into place from today onwards across its portfolio, based on the variants and models. In an official statement, the homegrown manufacturer noted that it has taken extensive measures to absorb a significant portion of the increased input costs.

To offset the residual impact of the accumulated increase in input costs, it is passing on a “minimized price hike”. It comes on the back of Tata hiking the prices of its commercial vehicle range by 1.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent and it has already come into effect from July 1, 2022 across the range, depending upon individual model and variant.

In June 2022, Tata Motors posted its highest ever monthly sales tally as the demand for passenger vehicles continued to stay strong in Q1 FY23 even as the supply side remained moderately impacted due to the health crisis in China according to the brand. Tata expects to see the supply side including that of critical electronic components to progressively improve.
