Hyundai Motor India to Raise Vehicle Prices by Up to 1% from September 2026
Hyundai Motor India announced a price increase of up to 1% across its vehicle portfolio effective September 2026. The hike, varying by model and variant, is attributed to rising input and commodity costs, higher operational expenses, and ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties. The company stated it has tried to absorb cost pressures but must pass some costs to customers. This marks Hyundai's third price revision in 2026, reflecting broader inflationary trends affecting Indian automakers.
