Tata Motors shares in focus on plans to increase commercial vehicle prices by up to 2%

Shares of Tata Motors are expected to be in focus on Tuesday after the company announced a price hike of up to 2% on its commercial vehicles, effective April 1, 2025. The adjustment aims to offset rising input costs in the automotive industry and will vary across different models and variants. In an exchange filing, Tata Motors stated:

"Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, today announced a price increase of up to 2% across its commercial vehicle range, effective April 1, 2025. The price increase is to offset the rise in input costs and will vary as per individual models and variants."

The company reaffirmed its commitment to delivering value to customers while managing rising financial challenges. This development follows Maruti Suzuki's announcement of a price hike of up to 4% starting April 2025, citing higher input costs, operational expenses, and inflationary pressures.

Over the past year, Tata Motors' shares have declined 30.11%, with a 15.22% drop in the last three months. However, the stock has gained 2% in the past week. On Monday, shares closed 0.8% higher at Rs 660.90 on the BSE.
