As Tata Motors has lately upped the prices of its entire Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) passenger vehicle lineup by up to Rs 25,000, buyers may feel the pinch in their pockets. The automaker has increased the prices of the Harrier, the Safari, the Tiago, the Tiago NRG, the Tigor, the Punch, the Nexon, and more. Even the brand's CNG-powered vehicles are not spared to feel the brunt of its price revision. However, the prices of EVs remain untouched. This is the second price increase for the firm in 2023 after its first price revision in January. The decision to revise prices, as per the company, is due to rising input costs and regulatory changes. The new prices are in effect from February 1 this year.
According to Tata Motors, the weighted average increase in the prices of its models is 1.2 per cent, depending on the model and trim. Starting with the SUVs, the Harrier, and the Safari received the biggest price hike of up to Rs 25,000, followed by the Nexon with an increase of up to Rs 17,000.
