Honda cars set to get costlier in India by up to 30,000 from January

Honda Cars India has joined the likes of other market leaders to announce a price hike for its entire model range by up to 30,000. The price hike will come into effect from January next year and will help the company offset the impact of rising input costs and prepare products in compliance with upcoming stricter emission norms. The second phase of BS6 emission regulations will come into effect from April of 2023.

To monitor throttle, crankshaft positions, air intake pressure, the temperature of the engine and the content of the emissions from the exhaust (particulate matter, nitrogen oxide, CO2, Sulphur), even the semiconductors used by the vehicle will have to be upgraded.

To accommodate all such needs, the carmaker has joined Maruti Suzuki, Hyundai, Tata Motors, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, Renault, Kia India and MG Motor, in increasing prices of its model range. "After assessing the consistent increase in the input cost of raw materials and upcoming regulatory requirements, we will have to undergo a price revision for our products from January 2023," Honda Cars India Vice President (Sales and Marketing) Kunal Behl told PTI.

Last month, the company registered monthly domestic sales of 7,051 units, which is a growth of 29 per cent for the Japanese car maker in the country. Additionally, 726 units were exported from its manufacturing facility here to overseas markets.
