Mahindra & Mahindra Hikes Prices Of Its Vehicles By 2.5%

Mahindra & Mahindra announced a price hike of 2.5% on its range of vehicles, which will result in an increase of Rs 10,000 to Rs 63,000 on the ex-showroom prices across the range depending upon the model and the variant, effective from 14 April 2022.

As per the company’s press statement, the price revision is result of continuous increase in prices of key commodities such as steel, aluminium, palladium etc. The company has taken necessary initiatives to partially offset the unprecedented hike in commodity prices to absorb the impact, passing a minimal percentage of cost increase to customers through a price revision. The company is working with its sales and dealer network to communicate the new prices to their customers appropriately.
