Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. will increase prices across its car and SUV portfolio by up to Rs 25,000 from September 1, making its vehicles more expensive for buyers from next month.The price hike will cover both internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles and electric vehicles (EVs), the company said in a press release on Friday. The increase will vary across models and variants rather than being a flat Rs 25,000 hike across the entire range.Tata Motors has not specified which individual models or variants will see the maximum Rs 25,000 increase in its announcement.Instead, the company said the price revision will apply across its portfolio, with the extent of the increase varying by model and variant. This means the actual impact on buyers will depend on the car and variant they choose. The hike will apply to both Tata's ICE vehicles and electric cars, according to the company.WHY IS TATA MOTORS HIKING PRICES?Tata Motors said the price revision is aimed at dealing with higher costs faced by the company. "This price revision is being undertaken to partially offset the impact of rising input costs and sustained inflationary pressures," the company said.Tata Motors added that it continues to absorb a significant portion of the cost increases, while passing on part of the impact to customers through the price adjustment.The revised prices will come into effect from September 1, 2026.Customers planning to buy a Tata car or SUV will face higher prices from September, although the actual increase will depend on the model and variant.Importantly, the company has announced a hike of "up to Rs 25,000", which means not every Tata car will become Rs 25,000 more expensive.Tata Motors said the variation in the price increase across models and variants will ensure that the overall value proposition of each offering is maintained.TATA IS NOT ALONE IN RAISING CAR PRICESTata Motors' latest price hike comes at a time when Indian carmakers are increasingly raising vehicle prices as cost pressures remain elevated.Hyundai Motor India announced its third price increase of 2026 on Wednesday, while market leader Maruti Suzuki has implemented two portfolio-wide price hikes in recent months.Carmakers have been pointing to inflationary pressures, higher commodity prices and elevated operating costs as some of the factors pushing up vehicle costs. Disruptions to global trade and energy markets linked to the Iran war have also added to cost pressures across the auto industry.For car buyers, this means that vehicle prices are facing upward pressure even as manufacturers continue to compete aggressively across segments.- EndsPublished On: Aug 21, 2026 09:38 IST
