Tata Motors to hike ICE vehicle prices from April 1 Tata Motors has announced a 0.5 percent price increase for its internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle portfolio, including petrol, diesel, and CNG models, effective April 1. The Indian carmaker stated that the revision aims to partially offset the ongoing rise in input costs. The extent of the price hike will vary across different models and variants. Ex-showroom prices, as of March 21, 2026, are listed in rupees (lakh). Tata has not disclosed which specific models will see the largest price adjustments or the exact figures for each car. The company’s most affordable model is the Tiago hatchback, starting at Rs 4.57 lakh, while the Safari SUV is its most expensive offering, priced from Rs 13.29 lakh. The price changes are expected to range between Rs 2,285 and Rs 12,980, depending on the model. The decision comes amid rising costs for raw materials, parts, and manufacturing, alongside supply chain disruptions and currency fluctuations, which have made cost management challenging for automakers. Price increases at the start of a new financial year are a common practice in the industry. Both Mercedes-Benz and BMW have also announced steeper price hikes, effective April 1, with a 2 percent increase. The article also mentions BMW Group’s announcement of a 2 percent price hike starting April 2026 and Mercedes-Benz’s plan to raise prices by up to 2 percent around the same time. However, these details are part of the broader context of the automotive industry’s pricing strategies rather than the main focus of Tata Motors’ announcement.#tata_motors #bmw_group #mercedes_benz #tata_tiago #tata_safari
