Audi India announces price hike across model range to offset rising costs

In a recent announcement, Audi India disclosed a price increase of up to 2% across its entire model range. This decision, effective January 1, 2024, has been attributed to the escalating input and operational costs faced by the company.
 
Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India, emphasised the significance of maintaining a sustainable business model for achieving profitability. He stated, "Audi India is committed to providing the best to our customers. Due to the surge in supply chain-related input and operational costs, we have implemented a price correction across our model range, aligning with the brand’s premium price positioning."
 
Dhillon further assured customers that the impact of the price hike would be kept as minimal as possible, emphasising the company's dedication to sustainable growth for Audi India and its dealer partners.
