The auto maker stated that the price increase has been necessitated owing to an increase in input costs, adverse exchange rate and increase in logistics costs.

Tarun Garg, whole-time director and chief operating officer, said, 'At Hyundai Motor India, our endeavor is always to absorb rising costs to the extent possible, ensuring minimal impact on our customers. However, with the sustained increase in input cost, it has now become imperative to pass on a part of this cost escalation through a minor price adjustment. This price increase will be done across models and the extent of increase will be up to Rs 25,000. The price increase will be effective from January 1, 2025 on all MY25 models.'
