New Delhi: Leading automobile manufacturer Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Limited (TMPV) on Friday announced a price increase of 0.5 per cent across its passenger vehicle (ICE) portfolio, effective April 1, 2026.
“The weighted average price increase will be 0.5 per cent of the internal combustion engine (ICE) portfolio and the extent will vary across models and variants,” the company said in a statement.
The company said that price increase is being undertaken to partially offset the impact of continued increase in input costs.
Tata Motors had earlier this week announced a price increase of up to 1.5 per cent across its commercial vehicle range, effective April 1, 2026 to partially offset the impact of rising commodity prices and other input costs.
Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd’s (TMPVL) Managing Director and CEO Shailesh Chandra had in February said that the company has been facing higher input costs for nearly a year, and the impact is now necessitating a price hike.
Tata Motors Limited reported a sharp 32 per cent year-on-year (YoY) rise in total sales for February 2026, as it sold 42,940 vehicles in domestic and international markets during the month, compared to 32,533 units in February 2025.

The company’s international business also showed steady improvement, with sales rising 17.9 per cent to 2,047 units from 1,736 units a year ago.
The growth was led by strong performance across various truck and commercial vehicle categories.

Intermediate, light and medium commercial vehicle (ILMCV) trucks recorded a 34.1 per cent increase at 7,577 units, compared to 5,652 units in February 2025.
