Hyundai Announces Up to 1% Price Hike From September

Hyundai Motor India will increase prices of its passenger vehicles by up to 1% from September 2026. The company announced the price revision in a regulatory filing on August 19, 2026, citing continued cost pressures.

The hike will vary depending on the model and variant, meaning some Hyundai cars may receive a smaller increase than the maximum 1%. The company said the revision will help offset part of the higher costs while limiting the impact on customers.

Why Is Hyundai Increasing Car Prices?

Hyundai has cited rising input and commodity costs, higher operating expenses and ongoing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties as the key reasons behind the price hike.

Prices of raw materials such as steel and aluminium, along with higher logistics and energy costs, have increased manufacturing and distribution expenses. Hyundai said it has taken steps to absorb part of these increases and optimise costs, but the continued pressure has made a price revision necessary.

Price Hike Comes Ahead Of Festive Season

The September price revision comes just before the festive season, which is an important period for car sales in India. Hyundai has not announced any changes to its model lineup as part of the price revision.

Customers planning to buy a Hyundai car can consider completing the purchase before September, when the existing prices are applicable. However, the final benefit will depend on dealer billing, delivery timelines and applicable terms. Festive offers may also be available during this period, which could help reduce the overall purchase cost.
