PremiumRenault India, an automobile giant, on Wednesday announced that the company will hike the prices of its vehicles across models from next January 2023 to partially offset rising input costs.
The automaker sells Kwid, multi-utility vehicle Triber and compact SUV Kiger with prices ranging from ₹4.64 lakh to ₹10.62 lakh. However, it did not disclose the information on the impending price hike.

These new prices will be effective from January 1, 2023 and the manufacturer says these could not be avoided due to rise in input and operational costs.
Commenting on the price hike, Balbir Singh Dhillon, Head of Audi India said, “The primary objective of Audi India’s business strategy focuses on a model that begets profitability and sustainability. The price correction is affected as a result of the rising supply-chain related input and operational costs. The new price range for our models is directed at maintaining the premium price positioning of our brand, ensuring sustainable growth for Audi India and our dealer partners. As a brand, we have always focused on human centricity and we continue to ensure that the impact of the price hike is as minimal as possible for our customers."
