Tata Motors, BMW among automakers set to raise prices in India.

The article focuses on planned vehicle price increases by major automakers in India, including Tata Motors, BMW Group India, and Audi, driven by rising materials and logistics costs linked to Middle East turmoil. Tata Motors intends to raise commercial vehicle prices by up to 1.5%, while BMW and Audi plan increases of up to 2%, effective from April 1. The report highlights concerns over Iran's blockade of the Strait of Hormuz potentially escalating costs for imported aluminium and steel, impacting foreign-owned automakers reliant on imports. Despite these challenges, passenger car sales in India grew 11% year on year in February 2026, though the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) warns that ongoing Middle East conflicts could disrupt supply chains and prompt further price hikes across the industry.
