The automaker claims that the hike is necessitated to partially offset the increase in input costs due to the rising raw material costs. "The overall price increase has been tapered down considering the impact on our valued customers," claims the automaker.

Toyota is not the only carmaker in India that has announced a price hike for its cars in recent times. Several other car brands too announced price hikes for their respective vehicles owing to rising raw material costs and supply chain crisis. Earlier this year, several automakers like Mahindra, Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, BMW and Mercedes-Benz announced price hikes across their model lineups owing to similar reasons.

The announcement comes right after Toyota announced reaching the milestone of producing and selling 20 lakh cars in India since its inception. The automaker on Thursday announced a Glanza was the two millionth model from the brand, sold in India.
