Vehicle makers around the world are suffering a lot due to the corona epidemic. First, there was a loss due to the sudden stoppage of production and then when it was restored, the shortage of products like semiconductor stopped production. Due to increase in raw material, other parts and transportation cost, the car makers of our country have resorted to increase the prices of their vehicles. The hike in prices will start from January of 2022.

Indian automobile companies are struggling to meet the demand made in the market. The purchase of semiconductor chips coupled with shortage of input material has slowed down the production of new vehicles. All these issues combined have led the makers to change the prices to offset the rising cost. Here is a list of some of the auto companies in India that will implement the increased prices on their portfolio of vehicles from January 2022.

Maruti said in an exchange filing, “In the last one year, the cost of vehicles of the company is being impacted due to increase in various input costs.
