Kia India has announced a price increase of up to 3% across its entire lineup, effective April 1, 2025, citing rising commodity prices and supply chain costs as key factors behind the decision.

"As a brand committed to offering exceptional value and quality, we have always aimed to provide the best vehicles at competitive prices," said Hardeep Singh Brar, Senior Vice President, Sales and Marketing, Kia India. "However, due to the rising costs of raw materials and inputs, we will be implementing a price hike across all Kia models from April 1," he added.

Acknowledging that price adjustments can be challenging for customers, the company assured that it is absorbing a significant portion of the increased costs to minimize the impact.

Kia's move follows similar announcements by Tata Motors and Maruti Suzuki India Limited, both of which cited increasing input costs, operational expenses, and inflationary pressures as reasons for revising their vehicle prices. Industry experts anticipate that other manufacturers may follow suit in the coming weeks.
