Why Are Prices Going Up — Mahindra SUV Again?
This latest revision comes soon after Mahindra had already increased prices in April 2026, when it raised prices by up to 2.5% across its ICE SUV and commercial vehicle portfolio, citing rising manufacturing costs, with an average hike of about 1.6% at that time.Executives have pointed to a mix of factors driving costs up, including rising prices of key commodities like steel and aluminium, currency volatility, and a weaker rupee against the US dollar adding further pressure on input expenses.Mahindra’s CEO of the Automotive Division noted the company had actually been holding off on a hike for six months despite easing commodity rates, but rising input costs elsewhere made the adjustment necessary to protect profitability.
