Overview
- Renault India’s Kwid, Triber and Kiger get up to a 2% ex‑showroom increase effective January 1, 2026, with bookings completed by December 31 retaining current prices.
- Hyundai Motor India will take a weighted‑average increase of about 0.6% from January 1, citing costlier precious metals and commodities.
- Other brands have announced or signalled January revisions in the roughly 1%–3% range, including Mercedes‑Benz, BMW, JSW MG, Nissan, BYD and Honda.
- Renault attributes its move to higher raw‑material and logistics costs plus operational pressures, with final on‑road impacts varying by city taxes and fees.
- Industry analyses indicate the January hikes only partly offset 2025’s GST cuts, with estimates for Renault’s increases at roughly Rs 8,000–21,000 for Kwid/Kiger and about Rs 12,000 for Triber depending on variant.
