Now, Nissan announces price hike of up to Rs 30,000 from January
This is the fourth car company to announce a hike in price in the last two weeks.
Japanese carmaker Nissan today said it will increase prices of its vehicles by up to Rs 30,000 from next month to offset higher input costs.
The prices of Nissan and Datsun models in the country will rise by up to Rs 30,000, effective January 2017, Nissan Motor India said in a statement.

The company sells a range of vehicles under the Nissan and Datsun brands starting with entry level small car Datsun Go priced at Rs 3.28 lakh to SUV Nissan Terrano Rs 13.75 lakh (ex-showroom Delhi).
