31 Dec 2009
Ford India announced on Wednesday that it would increase prices of its entire range of products by Rs6,000 to Rs40,000 depending on the model, with effect from 1 January. The upward price revision is due to a steady rise in input costs and exchange rate fluctuations, the company said in a statement.
Ford India is a fully-owned subsidiary of Detroit, US-based Ford Motor Co. Its popular models in India are the sedans Ikon and Fiesta and sports utility vehicle Endeavour, which it makes at its factory near Chennai.
