Hyundai India To Hike Prices From January 2024

Hyundai India has joined the list of car manufacturers to announce a hike in prices with effect from January 1, 2024. The carmaker said that the hike in prices has been necessitated due to the rise in input costs, increasing commodity prices and an adverse exchange rate among other factors. The carmaker however has not specified by how much prices will increase.
