Aug 19 : Hyundai Motor India said on Wednesday it will increase vehicle prices by up to 1 per cent across its portfolio from September this year, with the extent of the hike varying by model and variant.

Here are the details:

• The company attributed the increase to rising input and commodity costs, higher operational expenses, and continuing geopolitical and macroeconomic uncertainties

• Hyundai said it has been attempting to absorb cost increases and optimize expenses but is now passing on part of the burden to customers through a marginal price revision
