Tata Motors to raise prices of petrol, diesel cars from April; EVs excluded

Summary

Tata Motors will increase prices of its petrol and diesel passenger vehicles from April 1, 2026, to offset rising input costs, while keeping its electric vehicle lineup unchanged in the current revision.

NEW DELHI, March 20, 2026 — Tata Motors said it will increase prices of its petrol and diesel passenger vehicles from April 1, as the company looks to offset rising input costs.

The price increase will apply across models powered by internal combustion engines, including popular vehicles such as the Nexon, Harrier and Safari, the company said. The extent of the hike will vary depending on the model and variant.

The automaker added that its electric vehicle portfolio will not be impacted by the revision.

Automakers in India typically review vehicle prices at the start of a new financial year to partially pass on increases in commodity and operating costs, while also responding to broader market conditions.

India’s passenger vehicle market has seen steady demand, with manufacturers balancing cost pressures and competitive pricing strategies to maintain volumes.

Why this matters

• Cost pressures: Automakers continue to face higher input costs, prompting periodic price adjustments
• EV focus: Keeping electric vehicle prices unchanged may support demand in a growing segment
• Industry trend: Price revisions around the financial year transition are common across the sector
