On 8th May 2021, Tata Motors announced a price hike across its passenger vehicle portfolio. The brand announced that all models and variants in the line-up would become dearer by 1.8% (Average) on the ex-showroom price.
The price hike is the result of the rise in commodity prices and input cost in manufacturing. But, Tata also promises price protection for the customers who booked Tata passenger vehicles on or before 7th May 2021.
