However, the escalating input costs have necessitated passing on a part of this impact through a marginal price revision," HMIL said in an exchange filing.

Exports of the company rose 9.4 per cent to 41,697 units. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd. had in March announced a price increase of 0.5 per cent across its passenger vehicle (ICE) portfolio, effective April 1, 2026.

Tata Motors also implemented a 1.5 per cent across its commercial vehicle range, from the same date to partially offset the impact of rising commodity prices and other input costs. Tata Motors Passenger Vehicles Ltd's Managing Director and CEO Shailesh Chandra had said the company has been facing higher input costs for nearly a year, and the impact is now necessitating a price hike. India’s automobile sector ended March 2026 on a strong note, with major carmakers reporting record sales driven by steady demand, new launches, and expanding customer reach.
