Hyundai India to raise prices by up to Rs 1 lakh from January 2017

Date:

Hyundai Motors India Ltd has announced that it will hike prices by up to Rs 1 lakh across models from January to offset higher input costs, fluctuating exchange rates and marketing expenses.

“In these challenging year-end market conditions, we are constrained to consider price increase on account of factors like increased input costs, fluctuating exchange rates and increasing marketing expenses,” HMIL senior vice president, Sales and Marketing Rakesh Srivastava said in a statement.

“The proposed price increase will be up to Rs 1,00,000 and will be effective from January 2017 across all models from Eon to Santa Fe,” he said.
