Volvo Cars India Faces Rising Costs, Considers Price Hikes Amid Market Challenges
Volvo Cars India is facing rising input and logistics costs due to geopolitical disruptions, leading to increased shipping times and expenses. Managing Director Jyoti Malhotra indicated that price hikes may become inevitable to offset these costs. The company recently launched its flagship electric SUV, the EX90, priced at Rs 1.26 crore, and plans to introduce a new electric vehicle annually. Additionally, high taxes on luxury cars in India are seen as a barrier to market growth, with calls for a more favorable tax regime to boost accessibility.
