Hyundai to Raise Car Prices from June Amid Rising Costs

In a move reflecting broader industry challenges, Hyundai Motor India has decided to implement a price increase across its vehicle range starting June 1, 2026. The hike, capped at Rs 12,800, will vary by model and trim and stems from sustained increases in input costs, elevated commodity prices, and growing operational overheads. The company filed the update with regulators, noting that the adjustment balances customer interests with the need to offset unavoidable cost pressures. Hyundai stressed that it continues to pursue efficiency measures internally, yet a portion of the burden must be shared through this calibrated increase. The revision applies uniformly to every model in its lineup. This development follows Maruti Suzuki’s earlier decision to raise prices by up to Rs 30,000 and Mahindra’s April adjustments on SUVs and commercial vehicles. Shares of Hyundai Motor India rose more than 1.65 percent to close at Rs 1,915 on the National Stock Exchange, indicating market approval of the company’s measured approach.
