Tata Motors CV cites input costs behind 1.5% price hike; stock gains 1%

Shares of Tata Motors' commercial vehicle arm will be in focus on Tuesday, March 17, after the company announced a price increase across its product range.

Tata Motors said it will raise prices of its commercial vehicles by up to 1.5%, effective April 1, 2026.

The price revision is aimed at partially offsetting the impact of rising commodity prices and other input costs.

The extent of the increase will vary depending on the model and variant, the company said in a regulatory filing.

The move comes amid a broader trend of price revisions across the automobile sector.

Earlier, Mercedes-Benz India announced a price increase of around 2% across its entire vehicle portfolio, effective April 1.

The luxury carmaker attributed the revision to persistent forex volatility, particularly the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the euro, along with higher input costs.

Similarly, Audi has also announced a price hike of up to 2% for its cars from April 1, citing rising input costs and currency fluctuations.

Other automakers have also hinted at similar actions. Hyundai Motor India has already announced price increases, while Maruti Suzuki is evaluating a possible revision as cost pressures persist.

Shares of Tata Motors' commercial vehicle unit ended 2.2% higher at ₹435 on Monday. The stock has gained about 2% so far in 2026.
