New Delhi, August 19: Hyundai Motor India Ltd will increase prices across its vehicle portfolio by up to 1 per cent from September 2026 as the automaker looks to partially offset persistent increases in input, commodity and operating costs.
The company said the exact quantum of the price increase will vary depending on the model and variant.
Hyundai attributed the revision to a combination of rising input and commodity costs, higher operational expenses and continuing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties.
Price hike varies by model
The increase will not be uniform across Hyundai’s entire lineup.
Instead, individual models and variants will see different levels of revision, subject to the company’s pricing strategy and cost structure.
The move means buyers planning purchases from September could face slightly higher ex-showroom prices on several Hyundai models.
Cost pressures drive revision
Hyundai said it has been making efforts to optimise costs and absorb increases internally in order to minimise the impact on customers.
However, the persistence of these cost pressures has made a partial price pass-through necessary.
The company said the price revision remains marginal and is intended to offset only part of the additional costs it is facing.
Input and commodity costs remain a concern
Automakers are exposed to fluctuations in the cost of steel, aluminium, plastics, electronics and other raw materials used in vehicle manufacturing.
Higher logistics, labour and broader operating costs can also affect margins.
Geopolitical uncertainty and macroeconomic volatility can add further pressure through currency movements, supply-chain disruptions and changes in global commodity prices.
Hyundai portfolio spans multiple segments
Hyundai Motor India currently sells vehicles across a broad range of passenger car segments in the country.
Its portfolio starts with the Grand i10 Nios entry hatchback and extends to higher-priced models such as the electric Ioniq 5.
Prices across the lineup currently range from around ₹5.6 lakh to ₹55.7 lakh.
This means the absolute impact of a 1 per cent increase will differ significantly depending on the vehicle selected.
Auto buyers may see higher acquisition costs
For consumers, even a relatively small percentage increase can raise the upfront cost of purchasing a new vehicle, particularly in higher-priced segments.
The revision may also affect on-road prices once insurance, registration and other charges are factored in.
Hyundai’s move reflects the broader challenge automakers face in balancing affordability for consumers with rising manufacturing and operating expenses.
