Hyundai Motor India announces ~0.6% price hike across models from Jan 1, 2026, citing higher input costs

Hyundai Motor India has announced a price increase of around 0.6% (weighted average) across its model range, effective January 1, 2026. The company attributed the hike to higher input costs, particularly a rise in the cost of precious metals and commodities used in vehicle manufacturing.

In its statement and regulatory communication, the carmaker said it has been working to optimise costs and reduce the impact on customers, but is still constrained to pass through a portion of the increased costs to the market. The revision applies across models, meaning buyers could see slightly higher on-road prices depending on variant and location.

Hyundai’s line-up in India spans mass-market hatchbacks and sedans as well as higher-priced SUVs and EVs, making the increase relevant to a wide base of prospective buyers. For households planning purchases around year-end and early-year festive periods, even modest manufacturer-level hikes can influence EMI calculations, insurance costs, and booking decisions.

The announcement also reflects a broader industry pattern, with multiple automakers periodically adjusting prices in response to commodity movements, currency factors, and supply-chain costs. Such hikes can be staggered across the sector, sometimes prompting customers to advance purchases to lock in earlier prices.

For consumers, the key takeaway is timing: bookings and deliveries around the transition into the new calendar year can determine whether the older or revised ex-showroom pricing applies. Prospective buyers are typically advised to confirm the applicable price list, dealer offers, and delivery timelines, as final payable amounts can differ by city, taxes, and registration slabs.
