Tata Motors has announced a price hike across its model lineup that will come into effect from April 1, 2018. The decision has been prompted by the increased input costs. The cars that will witness price hike include Tiago hatchback, Tigor compact sedan, Nexon compact SUV and Hexa SUV. All these models will get expensive by up to Rs 60,000.
Mr Mayank Pareek, President, Passenger Vehicle Business, Tata Motors, said: “The rising input costs, changing market conditions and various external economic factors, have compelled us to consider the price increase but we are optimistic on maintaining our growth trajectory in the coming year on the back of our robust product portfolio like Tiago, Hexa, Tigor and Nexon.” Read – Tata H5X SUV To Challenge Jeep Compass
