Summary
Hyundai Motor India will implement a price increase of up to one percent. This adjustment will affect all vehicles across its extensive portfolio. The automaker cited rising input and commodity costs as the primary reason. Continuing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties also contributed to this decision. The price revision is scheduled to take effect in September 2026.
