This announcement follows Tata Motors' earlier decision to raise the prices of its passenger vehicles (PVs) by up to 3 per cent starting January 2025. The move aligns with other automakers like Hyundai Motors India, Kia, and Maruti Suzuki, which have also announced price hikes for their PV portfolios due to rising costs.

Stock performance under pressure

Shares of Tata Motors ended 1.5 per cent lower on Thursday at Rs 787. The stock, which had seen robust gains earlier this year, has now turned negative on a year-to-date basis and is trading 33 per cent below its record high of Rs 1,180.

Industry-wide impact 

The price hike comes at a time when automakers are grappling with inflationary pressures and supply chain challenges. 

Tata Motors remains committed to delivering value to its customers and continues to invest in innovation, sustainability, and service excellence in its CV and PV segments.
