Mercedes-Benz India has announced a price increase of around 2 percent across its entire vehicle portfolio in India, effective from April 1, 2026. The luxury carmaker stated that the revision is necessary due to continued forex volatility and rising input costs that are impacting the overall cost structure of the business.
The price hike will apply to all models offered by the brand in India, including luxury sedans, SUVs, and electric vehicles. According to the company, the decision has been taken after carefully evaluating the impact of currency fluctuations and increasing production expenses.
Sharing the update, Brendon Sissing, Vice President – Sales & Marketing at Mercedes-Benz India, explained that the price adjustment is mainly driven by the depreciation of the Indian rupee against the euro and higher input costs affecting the automotive industry.
“Starting April 1, we will be implementing a price correction of around 2 per cent across our portfolio. This decision is largely driven by continued forex volatility, particularly the sustained depreciation of the rupee against the euro, along with rising input costs. While we always strive to absorb cost pressures, some price adjustment becomes necessary to maintain business sustainability. Our focus remains on ensuring minimal impact on customers while continuing to deliver best-in-class products and experiences,” said Sissing.
Luxury car manufacturers operating in India are often affected by global currency movements, especially those that rely on imported components or Completely Built Units (CBUs). The weakening of the rupee against major global currencies such as the euro can increase costs for automakers, which eventually leads to price revisions.
Despite the upcoming price increase, Mercedes-Benz India emphasized that it remains committed to offering premium products and maintaining a strong customer experience. The brand continues to expand its portfolio in India with a mix of luxury sedans, SUVs, and electric models under its EQ lineup.
Customers planning to purchase a Mercedes-Benz vehicle may consider booking before April 1, 2026, to benefit from current pricing before the revised prices come into effect.
