Honda India To Hike Vehicle Prices From April, Joining Rivals Tata Motors, And Others

Honda Cars India announced on Wednesday that it will increase the prices of its entire range of vehicles starting in April 2025. This price hike is being implemented to partially offset the rising costs of raw materials and operational expenses. Kunal Behl, Vice President of Marketing and Sales at Honda Cars India, explained in a statement that despite the company’s efforts to manage these escalating costs internally, a price revision has become necessary.

He added that the increase would be passed on to customers, though the specific details of the price changes were not disclosed.

The price increase will apply across all Honda models, including the Amaze, City, City e:HEV, and Elevate. However, Behl noted that the adjustment in pricing will vary depending on the model and variant.

This move by Honda follows similar announcements by other automakers such as Maruti Suzuki India, Kia India, and Tata Motors, all of which are also set to raise vehicle prices in the coming month due to the impact of rising input costs.

Tata Motors Price Hike

Tata Motors announced on Tuesday that it will implement a price increase across its entire range of passenger vehicles, including electric models, starting in April 2025. This price hike will be the second one for the year and comes as the company faces increasing financial pressure from rising raw material costs and other operational expenses. According to an official statement from Tata Motors, the increase in prices is necessary to offset the rising input costs that have been affecting the automotive industry.

The company clarified that the extent of the price increase will vary based on the specific model and variant, though it did not disclose the exact monetary or percentage amount for each vehicle. The decision follows a similar move earlier in January when Tata Motors raised the prices of its passenger vehicles by up to 3 per cent.

The price adjustment will affect all passenger vehicles in Tata Motors’ lineup, including their electric vehicle range, reflecting the broader challenges faced by automakers in managing production costs. However, details regarding the specific impact on individual models have not been provided yet.
