Hyundai Price Hike: Hyundai Motor India on Wednesday, May 27, announced a price increase across its car range. The revised prices are set to come into effect from next week. In a stock exchange filing, the company said the price hike will be up to a maximum of Rs 12,800, depending on the model and variant.
"The extent of price increase is up to a maximum of Rs 12,800/- and it will vary depending on the model and variant," Hyundai India said.
The automaker stated that the decision has been taken in view of prevailing market conditions while maintaining a balanced approach towards customer interest. The revised implementation date follows an earlier communication issued by the company on April 8, 2026, regarding the proposed increase in vehicle prices.




"In continuation to our earlier letter dated April 08, 2026 submitted in respect of price increase on Hyundai cars, considering the prevailing market conditions and to ensure balanced approach towards customer interest, we would like to inform that the new prices will now be made effective from June 01, 2026," the company said in the release.
According to the company, the latest price revision has been necessitated due to rising input costs, higher commodity prices, and increasing operational expenses, among other factors.
"The price increase has been necessitated due to rising input costs, increased commodity prices and higher operational expenses, amongst other reasons," it added.
Hyundai said it has been making continuous efforts to optimise costs and reduce the burden on customers. However, the company added that it has been compelled to pass on a part of the increased costs to the market through what it described as a nominal price hike.
"While the company continuously strives to optimize costs and minimize the impact on its customers, the company is constrained to pass on some of the increased costs to the market through this nominal price increase," it further said.
The company clarified that the increase will not be uniform across all vehicles. The extent of the hike will vary depending on the specific model and variant. The revised prices for Hyundai vehicles will be applicable from June 1, 2026.
The development comes days after Maruti Suzuki India Limited announced that it is going to increase the prices of its vehicles from next month. Effective from June 1, the carmaker will increase rates across models by up to Rs 30,000, Maruti Suzuki India said in a regulatory filing.
The company cited inflationary pressures and an unfavourable cost environment as the reason behind this price hike.
