Tata Motors to Increase Car and SUV Prices by Up to ₹25,000 from September 1

New Delhi, August 21: Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited, a leading automotive manufacturer in India, has announced a price increase for its passenger vehicles. Starting September 1, 2026, the company will raise prices by up to ₹25,000 across its entire range of passenger vehicles, which includes both petrol-diesel models and electric vehicles.

According to the company, the extent of the price increase will vary across different models and variants. Tata Motors stated that this decision is aimed at partially offsetting the impact of rising input costs and persistent inflationary pressures.

The company clarified that it has been absorbing a significant portion of the cost increases, but due to the continuous rise in expenses, a price revision has become necessary.

This announcement comes at a time when other major automotive manufacturers have also raised their vehicle prices. Recently, Hyundai Motor India announced a price hike of up to 1% across its vehicle portfolio, citing rising raw material costs, high operational expenses, and global economic uncertainties.

Similarly, Maruti Suzuki has increased prices for its Arena and Nexa models starting in August, with hikes ranging from ₹2,500 to ₹30,000 based on different models and variants.

These ongoing price adjustments are occurring amid continuous cost pressures in the automotive industry, where companies are compelled to pass on some of the increased costs of raw materials, parts, logistics, and operational expenses to customers. However, manufacturers are also striving to limit the impact on consumers through cost optimization strategies.

In terms of financial performance, Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles reported a net profit of ₹859 crore for the first quarter of the fiscal year 2026-27, a significant drop from ₹4,003 crore in the same quarter last year. This reflects an annual decline of approximately 79%. On a quarterly basis, the company’s profit has decreased by 85%.

Meanwhile, during early trading on Friday, Tata Motors shares were seen trading at ₹319.70, down by 0.17%. Over the past six months, the stock has fallen by 15.87%, and it has dropped nearly 23% over the past year. So far this year, the company’s shares have declined by more than 13%.

According to NSE data, the stock reached a high of ₹419 and a low of ₹294.30 in the past 52 weeks.
