From Tata to BMW: 5 auto firms to increase vehicle prices from April 1

Tata Motors said on March 22 that the pricing of its commercial vehicle line will be raised by 2-2.5 percent, depending on particular models and variations, beginning April 1.

The quick rise in the prices of commodities such as steel, aluminium, and other precious metals, as well as increased expenses of other raw materials, has prompted this price increase in commercial vehicles, according to Tata Motors.
