Hero MotoCorp has hiked the price for its range of products with effect from July 1, 2021. The company stated that the continuous increase in commodity prices compelled them to make this move. This price hike will make Hero MotoCorp’s range of products dearer by up to INR 3,000. The exact price hike will depend upon the model and the specific market.
With the decreasing Covid-19 cases and reopening of the showrooms and manufacturing facilities, we are witnessing this price hike trend to pick up the pace. Recently, other automobile manufacturers also made similar announcements and made some price revisions in their lineup.
